It's technically a breaking change. As such, I would need to bump to v4 to responsibly release this.

I'd rather bundle in a few more breaking changes before shipping that version.

One thing we could do here is add an extra argument to `.convert()` - something like this:

```python
table.convert(col, lambda x: x+1, skip_false=False)
```

This would trigger the new, improved behaviour without breaking existing code that depends on how it works at the moment.

Then in `sqlite-utils` 4 we can change the default of that option.

What do you think?
