    //! 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.
    //!
    //! - Impl the `As*` traits for reference-to-reference conversions
    //! - Impl 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 impl
    //!
    //! - [`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.
    //!

## 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`)
