+//! Traits for conversions between types.
+//!
+//! The traits in this module provide a way to convert from one type to another type.
+//! Each trait serves a different purpose:
+//!
+//! - Implement the [`AsRef`] trait for cheap reference-to-reference conversions
+//! - Implement the [`AsMut`] trait for cheap mutable-to-mutable conversions
+//! - Implement the [`From`] trait for consuming value-to-value conversions
+//! - Implement the [`Into`] trait for consuming value-to-value conversions to types
+//! outside the current crate
+//! - The [`TryFrom`] and [`TryInto`] traits behave like [`From`] and [`Into`],
+//! but should be implemented when the conversion can fail.
+//!
+//! The traits in this module are often used as trait bounds for generic functions such that to
+//! arguments of multiple types are supported. See the documentation of each trait for examples.
+//!
+//! As a library author, you should always 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. When targeting a version prior to Rust 1.41, it
+//! may be necessary to implement [`Into`] or [`TryInto`] directly when converting to a type
+//! outside the current crate.
+//!
+//! # 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.

+/// Using `identity` to do nothing in a sequence of other, interesting,

+///
+/// ```rust

+///
+/// This trait is similar to [`AsMut`] which is used for converting between mutable references.
+/// If you need to do a costly conversion it is better to implement [`From`] with type
+/// `&T` or write a custom function.
+///
+/// `AsRef` has the same signature as [`Borrow`], but [`Borrow`] is different in a few aspects:
+///
+/// - Unlike `AsRef`, [`Borrow`] has a blanket impl for any `T`, and can be used to accept either
+/// a reference or a value.
+/// - [`Borrow`] also requires that [`Hash`], [`Eq`] and [`Ord`] for a borrowed value are
+/// equivalent to those of the owned value. For this reason, if you want to
+/// borrow only a single field of a struct you can implement `AsRef`, but not [`Borrow`].
+///
+/// **Note: This trait must not fail**. If the conversion can fail, use a
+/// dedicated method which returns an [`Option<T>`] or a [`Result<T, E>`].
+///
+/// # Generic Implementations
+///
+/// - `AsRef` auto-dereferences if the inner type is a reference or a mutable
+/// reference (e.g.: `foo.as_ref()` will work the same if `foo` has type
+/// `&mut Foo` or `&&mut Foo`)
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// By using trait bounds we can accept arguments of different types as long as they can be
+/// converted to the specified type `T`.
+///
+/// For example: By creating a generic function that takes an `AsRef<str>` we express that we
+/// want to accept all references that can be converted to [`&str`] as an argument.
+/// Since both [`String`] and [`&str`] implement `AsRef<str>` we can accept both as input argument.

+///
+/// # Generic Implementations
+///
+/// - [`From`]`<T> for U` implies `Into<U> for T`
+/// - [`Into`] is reflexive, which means that `Into<T> for T` is implemented
+///
+/// # Implementing [`Into`] for conversions to external types in old versions of Rust
+///
+/// Prior to Rust 1.41, if the destination type was not part of the current crate
+/// then you couldn't implement [`From`] directly.
+/// For example, take this code:
+///
+/// ```
+/// struct Wrapper<T>(Vec<T>);
+/// impl<T> From<Wrapper<T>> for Vec<T> {
+/// fn from(w: Wrapper<T>) -> Vec<T> {
+/// w.0
+/// }
+/// }
+/// ```
+/// This will fail to compile in older versions of the language because Rust's orphaning rules
+/// used to be a little bit more strict. To bypass this, you could implement [`Into`] directly:
+///
+/// ```
+/// struct Wrapper<T>(Vec<T>);
+/// impl<T> Into<Vec<T>> for Wrapper<T> {
+/// fn into(self) -> Vec<T> {
+/// self.0
+/// }
+/// }
+/// ```
+///
+/// It is important to understand that [`Into`] does not provide a [`From`] implementation
+/// (as [`From`] does with [`Into`]). Therefore, you should always try to implement [`From`]
+/// and then fall back to [`Into`] if [`From`] can't be implemented.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// [`String`] implements [`Into`]`<`[`Vec`]`<`[`u8`]`>>`:
+///
+/// In order to express that we want a generic function to take all arguments that can be
+/// converted to a specified type `T`, we can use a trait bound of [`Into`]`<T>`.
+/// For example: The function `is_hello` takes all arguments that can be converted into a
+/// [`Vec`]`<`[`u8`]`>`.
+///
+/// ```
+/// fn is_hello<T: Into<Vec<u8>>>(s: T) {

+/// Only implement [`Into`] when targeting a version prior to Rust 1.41 and converting to a type

+/// See [`Into`] for more details.
+///
+/// Prefer using [`Into`] over using `From` when specifying trait bounds on a generic function.
+/// This way, types that directly implement [`Into`] can be used as arguments as well.
+///
+/// The `From` is also very useful when performing error handling. When constructing a function
+/// that is capable of failing, the return type will generally be of the form `Result<T, E>`.
+/// The `From` trait simplifies error handling by allowing a function to return a single error type
+/// that encapsulate multiple error types. See the "Examples" section and [the book][book] for more
+/// details.
+///
+/// **Note: This trait must not fail**. The `From` trait is intended for perfect conversions.
+/// If the conversion can fail or is not perfect, use [`TryFrom`].
+///
+/// # 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>`:
+///
+/// An explicit conversion from a `&str` to a String is done as follows:
+///
+/// ```
+/// let string = "hello".to_string();
+/// let other_string = String::from("hello");
+///
+/// assert_eq!(string, other_string);
+/// ```
+///
+/// While performing error handling it is often useful to implement `From` for your own error type.
+/// By converting underlying error types to our own custom error type that encapsulates the
+/// underlying error type, we can return a single error type without losing information on the
+/// underlying cause. The '?' operator automatically converts the underlying error type to our
+/// custom error type by calling `Into<CliError>::into` which is automatically provided when
+/// implementing `From`. The compiler then infers which implementation of `Into` should be used.
+///
+/// ```
+/// use std::fs;
+/// use std::io;
+/// use std::num;
+///
+/// enum CliError {
+/// IoError(io::Error),

+/// This is useful when you are doing a type conversion that may

+/// For example, there is no way to convert an [`i64`] into an [`i32`]
+/// using the [`From`] trait, because an [`i64`] may contain a value
+/// that an [`i32`] cannot represent and so the conversion would lose data.
+/// This might be handled by truncating the [`i64`] to an [`i32`] (essentially
+/// giving the [`i64`]'s value modulo [`i32::MAX`]) or by simply returning
+/// [`i32::MAX`], or by some other method. The [`From`] trait is intended
+/// for perfect conversions, so the `TryFrom` trait informs the
+/// programmer when a type conversion could go bad and lets them
+/// decide how to handle it.

+/// When the [`!`] type is stabilized [`Infallible`] and [`!`] will be

+// THE NO-ERROR ERROR TYPE
+////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
+
+/// The error type for errors that can never happen.
+///
+/// Since this enum has no variant, a value of this type can never actually exist.
+/// This can be useful for generic APIs that use [`Result`] and parameterize the error type,
+/// to indicate that the result is always [`Ok`].
+///
+/// For example, the [`TryFrom`] trait (conversion that returns a [`Result`])
+/// has a blanket implementation for all types where a reverse [`Into`] implementation exists.
+///
+/// ```ignore (illustrates std code, duplicating the impl in a doctest would be an error)
+/// impl<T, U> TryFrom<U> for T where U: Into<T> {
+/// type Error = Infallible;
+///
+/// fn try_from(value: U) -> Result<Self, Infallible> {
+/// Ok(U::into(value)) // Never returns `Err`
+/// }
+/// }
+/// ```
+///
+/// # Future compatibility
+///
+/// This enum has the same role as [the `!` “never” type][never],
+/// which is unstable in this version of Rust.
+/// When `!` is stabilized, we plan to make `Infallible` a type alias to it:
+///
+/// ```ignore (illustrates future std change)
+/// pub type Infallible = !;
+/// ```
+///
+/// … and eventually deprecate `Infallible`.
+///
+/// However there is one case where `!` syntax can be used
+/// before `!` is stabilized as a full-fledged type: in the position of a function’s return type.
+/// Specifically, it is possible to have implementations for two different function pointer types:
+///
+/// ```
+/// trait MyTrait {}
+/// impl MyTrait for fn() -> ! {}
+/// impl MyTrait for fn() -> std::convert::Infallible {}
+/// ```
+///
+/// With `Infallible` being an enum, this code is valid.
+/// However when `Infallible` becomes an alias for the never type,
+/// the two `impl`s will start to overlap
+/// and therefore will be disallowed by the language’s trait coherence rules.
