/// **What it does:** Checks for usage of `as` conversions.
///
/// **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.
///
/// **Known problems:** None.
///
/// **Example:**
/// ```rust,ignore
/// let a: u32;
/// ...
/// f(a as u16);
/// ```
///
/// Usually better represents the semantics you expect:
/// ```rust,ignore
/// f(a.try_into()?);
/// ```
/// or
/// ```rust,ignore
/// f(a.try_into().expect("Unexpected u16 overflow in f"));
