+### What it does
+Check for the usage of `as _` conversion using inferred type.
+
+### Why is this bad?
+The conversion might include lossy conversion and dangerous cast that might go
+undetected due to the type being inferred.
+
+The lint is allowed by default as using `_` is less wordy than always specifying the type.
+
+### Example
+```
+fn foo(n: usize) {}
+let n: u16 = 256;
+foo(n as _);
+```
+Use instead:
+```
+fn foo(n: usize) {}
+let n: u16 = 256;
+foo(n as usize);
