+    Converts to a `discord.Channel` or, raises an error.
+
+    Unlike the default Channel Converter, this converter can handle channels given
+    in string, id, or mention formatting for both `TextChannel`s and `VoiceChannel`s.
+    Always returns 1 or fewer channels, errors if more than one match exists.
+
+    It is able to handle the following formats (caveats noted below:)
+    1. Convert from ID - Example: 267631170882240512
+    2. Convert from Explicit Mention - Example: #welcome
+    3. Convert from ID Mention - Example: <#267631170882240512>
+    4. Convert from Unmentioned Name: - Example: welcome
+
+    All the previous conversions are valid for both text and voice channels, but explicit
+    raw names (#4) do not work for non-unique channels, instead opting for an error.
+    Explicit mentions (#2) do not work for non-unique voice channels either.
