    /// ### 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:
    ///
    /// - `clippy::cast_lossless`
    /// - `clippy::cast_possible_truncation`
    /// - `clippy::cast_possible_wrap`
    /// - `clippy::cast_precision_loss`
    /// - `clippy::cast_sign_loss`
    /// - `clippy::char_lit_as_u8`
    /// - `clippy::fn_to_numeric_cast`
    /// - `clippy::fn_to_numeric_cast_with_truncation`
    /// - `clippy::ptr_as_ptr`
    /// - `clippy::unnecessary_cast`
    /// - `invalid_reference_casting`
    ///
    /// 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 restrict this?
    /// `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"));
    /// ```
