Is it possible to apply modifiers to multiple objects at once?

Question

You can copy modifiers from one object to other objects with CtrlL> Make links > Modifiers, or the Copy attributes addon.

However, is it possible to apply modifiers to many objects at once?

$\begingroup$ This doesn't work if the modifier isn't being displayed in View. Next question... how do you set all modifiers to display in view at once? $\endgroup$ – jozxyqk Jul 22 '14 at 0:19
$\begingroup$ How about for complex modifier stacks? i.e. several array modifiers, curve modifier, lattice modifier, etc. and Multiuser data $\endgroup$ – VRM Oct 14 '15 at 20:39

Convert To

One very easy way to do this is to use the Convert To command:

enter image description here

If you have curve objects that need to stay curves, then use Convert to Curve
ALTC -> Convert to -> Curve from Mesh/Text
If you have mesh objects that need to stay meshes, then use Convert to Mesh
ALTC -> Convert to -> Mesh from Curve/Meta/Surf/Text

This will automatically apply all modifiers at once:
