There actually is a B&W converter out there that mimicks films,
developers and paper types.  Sounds very interesting.  However,
there is still something missing:

Two stops of additional dynamic response on each end during
digital capture to properly mimick the shoulder and toe.  You
can pretend to create a shoulder and toe, but in digital, these
occur where normal tonal response happens.
