Rear converter for SDM?

Hi everybody,
just a quick question. I've been looking at Pentax lens roadmap: http://www.pentax.jp/english/imaging/digital/lens/roadmap.pdf
and at the bottom right corner is something called: Rear converter for SDM.
Do we know what it is/will be?
Will it be "thingy" to convert SDM only lenses to screw driven? Or the other way around?
Does anybody know?

Oh and one more thing. Will the new DA15ltd by pancake? or classic lens like DA35 ltd, and FA ltds

It will be a simple tele converter with support for SDM focusing. A thing much needed, considering, that now you lose SDM ability if you mount a tele converter between lens and camera. I don't think, that it would convert the screwdriver AF to SDM, though.
