This short-cuts re-simplifying (convert ...)s which often are no-ops because a conditional convert didn't match. So instead of throwing the whole match-and-simplify machinery on such converts and yell out that match.pd:961 triggered (that really happens often...) the following simply does nothing for matching types.
