    //! Traits for conversions between types.
    //!
    //! The traits in this module provide a general way to talk about conversions
    //! from one type to another. They follow the standard Rust conventions of
    //! `as`/`into`/`from`.
    //!
    //! Like many traits, these are often used as bounds for generic functions, to
    //! support arguments of multiple types.
    //!
    //! - Implement the `As*` traits for reference-to-reference conversions
    //! - Implement the [`Into`] trait when you want to consume the value in the conversion
    //! - The [`From`] trait is the most flexible, useful for value _and_ reference conversions
    //! - The [`TryFrom`] and [`TryInto`] traits behave like [`From`] and [`Into`], but allow for the
    //!   conversion to fail
    //!
    //! As a library author, you should prefer implementing [`From<T>`][`From`] or
    //! [`TryFrom<T>`][`TryFrom`] rather than [`Into<U>`][`Into`] or [`TryInto<U>`][`TryInto`],
    //! as [`From`] and [`TryFrom`] provide greater flexibility and offer
    //! equivalent [`Into`] or [`TryInto`] implementations for free, thanks to a
    //! blanket implementation in the standard library.
    //!
    //! # Generic Implementations
    //!
    //! - [`AsRef`] and [`AsMut`] auto-dereference if the inner type is a reference
    //! - [`From`]`<U> for T` implies [`Into`]`<T> for U`
    //! - [`TryFrom`]`<U> for T` implies [`TryInto`]`<T> for U`
    //! - [`From`] and [`Into`] are reflexive, which means that all types can
    //!   `into` themselves and `from` themselves
    //!
    //! See each trait for usage examples.
    //!

    ///
    /// Two things are important to note about this function:

    /// - It is not always equivalent to a closure like `|x| x` since the
    ///   closure may coerce `x` into a different type.
    ///
    /// - It moves the input `x` passed to the function.
    ///
    /// While it might seem strange to have a function that just returns back the
    /// input, there are some interesting uses.
    ///
    /// # Examples
    ///
    /// Using `identity` to do nothing among other interesting functions:
    ///
    /// ```rust
    /// use std::convert::identity;
    ///
    /// fn manipulation(x: u32) -> u32 {
    ///     // Let's assume that this function does something interesting.
    ///     x + 1
    /// }
    ///
    /// let _arr = &[identity, manipulation];
    /// ```

    /// ```rust
    /// use std::convert::identity;

    ///
    /// `AsRef` is to be used when wishing to convert to a reference of another
    /// type.
    /// `Borrow` is more related to the notion of taking the reference. It is

    /// (`&T`, `&mut T`) or allow both the referenced and owned type to be treated
    /// in the same manner.
    ///
    /// The key difference between the two traits is the intention:

    /// - Use `AsRef` when the goal is to simply convert into a reference
    /// - Use `Borrow` when the goal is related to writing code that is agnostic to

    /// Simple and safe type conversions in to `Self`. It is the reciprocal of

    ///
    /// This trait is useful when performing error handling as described by
    /// [the book][book] and is closely related to the `?` operator.
    ///
    /// When constructing a function that is capable of failing the return type
    /// will generally be of the form `Result<T, E>`.
    ///
    /// The `From` trait allows for simplification of error handling by providing a
    /// means of returning a single error type that encapsulates numerous possible
    /// erroneous situations.
    ///
    /// This trait is not limited to error handling, rather the general case for
    /// this trait would be in any type conversions to have an explicit definition
    /// of how they are performed.
    ///
    /// **Note: this trait must not fail**. If the conversion can fail, use
    /// [`TryFrom`] or a dedicated method which returns an [`Option<T>`] or a
    /// [`Result<T, E>`].
    ///
    /// # Generic Implementations
    ///
    /// - `From<T> for U` implies [`Into<U>`]` for T`
    /// - [`from`] is reflexive, which means that `From<T> for T` is implemented
    ///
    /// # Examples
    ///
    /// [`String`] implements `From<&str>`:
    ///
    /// ```
    /// let string = "hello".to_string();
    /// let other_string = String::from("hello");
    ///
    /// assert_eq!(string, other_string);
    /// ```
    ///
    /// An example usage for error handling:
    ///
    /// ```
    /// use std::fs;
    /// use std::io;
    /// use std::num;
    ///
    /// enum CliError {
    ///     IoError(io::Error),
    ///     ParseError(num::ParseIntError),
    /// }
    ///
    /// impl From<io::Error> for CliError {

    ///         CliError::IoError(error)
    ///     }
    /// }

    /// impl From<num::ParseIntError> for CliError {
    ///     fn from(error: num::ParseIntError) -> Self {
    ///         CliError::ParseError(error)

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g., `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g., `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g., `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
