  <para>
   This method is used to convert a non-executable tar or zip archive to another
   non-executable format.
  </para>
  <para>
   If no changes are specified, this method throws a <classname>BadMethodCallException</classname>.
   This method should be used to convert a tar archive to zip format or vice-versa.  Although
   it is possible to simply change the compression of a tar archive using this method,
   it is better to use the <function>PharData::compress</function> method for logical
   consistency.
  </para>
  <para>
   If successful, the method creates a new archive on disk and returns a <classname>PharData</classname>
   object.  The old archive is not removed from disk, and should be done manually after
   the process has finished.

       This parameter is used to override the default file extension for a
       converted archive.  Note that <literal>.phar</literal> cannot be used
       anywhere in the filename for a non-executable tar or zip archive.
      </para>
      <para>
       If converting to a tar-based phar archive, the
       default extensions are <literal>.tar</literal>, <literal>.tar.gz</literal>,
       and <literal>.tar.bz2</literal> depending on specified compression.
       For zip-based archives, the
       default extension is <literal>.zip</literal>.
