-### What it does
-Checks for expressions where a character literal is cast
-to `u8` and suggests using a byte literal instead.
-
-### Why is this bad?
-In general, casting values to smaller types is
-error-prone and should be avoided where possible. In the particular case of
-converting a character literal to u8, it is easy to avoid by just using a
-byte literal instead. As an added bonus, `b'a'` is even slightly shorter
-than `'a' as u8`.
-
-### Example
-```
-'x' as u8
-```
-
-A better version, using the byte literal:
-
-```
-b'x'
-``` \ No newline at end of file
