Most of "converted" code is simply output of the Boot translator.
It is clear that such code can not use features absent in Boot.
There is a few snippets which were really converted to work around
limitations of Boot. In fact I yesterday commited one such
snippet: I needed double precision numeric constants, but both
old Boot and Shoe were mangling them.
Most of limitations affecting practical code is rather silly and
we should simply remove them.
