/// ### What it does
/// Checks for usage of `as` conversions.
///
/// Note that this lint is specialized in linting *every single* use of `as`
/// regardless of whether good alternatives exist or not.
/// If you want more precise lints for `as`, please consider using these separate lints:
/// `unnecessary_cast`, `cast_lossless/cast_possible_truncation/cast_possible_wrap/cast_precision_loss/cast_sign_loss`,
/// `fn_to_numeric_cast(_with_truncation)`, `char_lit_as_u8`, `ref_to_mut` and `ptr_as_ptr`.
/// There is a good explanation the reason why this lint should work in this way and how it is useful
/// [in this issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/5122).
///
/// ### Why is this bad?
/// `as` conversions will perform many kinds of
/// conversions, including silently lossy conversions and dangerous coercions.
/// There are cases when it makes sense to use `as`, so the lint is
/// Allow by default.
///
/// ### Example
/// ```rust,ignore
/// let a: u32;
/// ...
/// f(a as u16);
/// ```
///
/// Use instead:
/// ```rust,ignore
/// f(a.try_into()?);
///
/// // or
///
/// f(a.try_into().expect("Unexpected u16 overflow in f"));
/// ```
