BTW, don't we have a counter intuitive interface here? "convert to 2d with

Why it is a warning and not a message? Does the message really explain to
the user what does it mean or what can possible go wrong. I'm not following
the discussion, so I don't know what the issue is, but from the diff it
looks like user must open the source code to see the comments around and
read the manual to understand the consequences.

There is also a typo with Input/Output.
