Convert to Line effect
If you try to apply 'Convert to Rectangle' effect, Ai will limit you minimal width/height to 0.01mm — not zero. It means we can't use it to create 'lines'. And this is something appearance and styles will hugely benefit from.
Of course, it should allow to set a reference point too:

And although we have a Transform effect to deal with the angle, having it for the line is obviously needed.

While it’s still not possible natively, it is now possible with the plugin effect, Make Shape, from the AG Utilities group, by Astute Graphics.
