Exactly! It transforms the old style notations into the new style.

The front end can't handle really big expressions. Hopefully the
4.0.1 versions are more stable... Basically the function just
consists of something like:
NotebookPut[NotebookGet[nb] /. <modifications>]
This is enough to hang the kernel / front-end when dealing with
really big notebooks.
