Modified to detect recursion.
However, it does not finish all conversions. It finishes conversion as soon as it detects recursion. This is due to the way recursion is handled currently. i.e. Recursion is handled non recursive calls.

To change this behavior, mb_convert_variables() has to be modified to use recursive call.
