I think this would be a useful in daily use: to be able to easily convert a list [whether numbers or bullets] into a list of " - [ ] foo" check-box items.
FWIW, I use regex'es to achieve this for now.

Turning plain list items into checkboxes is already possible:
,----
| C-c C-x C-b
|
| Toggle checkbox status or (with prefix arg) checkbox presence at point. With double prefix argument, set it to ‘[-]’, which i s considered to be an intermediate state.
|
| * If there is an active region, toggle the first checkbox in the
| region and set all remaining boxes to the same status as the
| first. With a prefix arg, add or remove the checkbox for all items
| in the region.
|
| * If the cursor is in a headline, toggle checkboxes in the region
| between this headline and the next (so not the entire subtree).
|
| * If there is no active region, just toggle the checkbox at point.

That is what `C-c C-x C-b' does.

I just tried this and found it to work well enough for my requirements.
Thanks for the information [and for the Manual-reference], David.
