This would make something like {{#time:H:i:s| 9:30 January 1, 2012 MST}} convert the time from 9:30 mountatin standard time to whatever it is in UTC.
I made one minor change from the patch on bugzilla in changing an @ to a wfSuppressWarnings. (The @ was already in the code, it wasn't introduced by the patch).
* Disable {{#convert}} function by default. This means that this change will not be live by default, so the fixme doesn't block WMF deployment, although it probably should still block the tarball.
* Documentation and type hinting
* Fix minor errors noted by Tim in CR.
the position can be changed depending on the plural, as requested by Amir in

Placing the text after the unit could get funny in cases where there is
more text than just the number and the unit, but it's not a problem for the
parserfunction to fix.
