--- Comment #9 from C.Rogers <cajhne at gmail.com> ---
It's functionally equivalent to what Calc does when importing a CSV and the
user chooses "Date" as a data type for a column. Calc runs through and
validates all the cells in that column and converts. This feature just allows
this same functionality after import, in case the user missed this
functionality, and for new data cut and pasted to multiple cells as text. It
also helps in the case that the user accidentally chose the wrong date format,
and wants to convert one cell type to another after import. Sometimes lots of
work has already been done to other columns, so it would be quite convenient to
have this option to validate on conversion of cell type on-the-fly.
