I've mostly used mesh 'snapshots' at work to create a still-pose library
of people for use in industrial visualisation renders. The scenes are
complex enough without adding a few dozen skinned characters in. This
was in 3dsMax, though.

The thing with the current naming, it list a specific bunch of objects
it can convert, but it's missing at least one, making the feature really
difficult to find.

I'm fine with

    Convert to > Mesh from Curve/Meta/Surface/Text/Mesh

but I wonder if

    Convert to > Mesh

would suffice? Perhaps it should just raise an error message if it finds
you trying to convert an object it can't work with?
