    //! 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. Only implement [`Into`] or [`TryInto`]
    //! when a conversion to a type outside the current crate is required.
    //!
    //! # 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.
    ///
    /// # Examples
    ///
    /// Using `identity` to do nothing among other interesting functions:
    ///
    /// ```rust
    /// use std::convert::identity;
    ///
    /// fn manipulation(x: u32) -> u32 {
    ///     // Let's assume that this function does something interesting.
    ///     x + 1
    /// }
    ///
    /// let _arr = &[identity, manipulation];
    /// ```

    /// Using `identity` to get a function that changes nothing in a conditional:

    /// ```rust
    /// use std::convert::identity;

    /// # let condition = true;

    /// # fn manipulation(x: u32) -> u32 { x + 1 }

    /// let _results = do_stuff(42);
    /// ```

    /// ```rust
    /// use std::convert::identity;
    ///
    /// let iter = vec![Some(1), None, Some(3)].into_iter();
    /// let filtered = iter.filter_map(identity).collect::<Vec<_>>();
    /// assert_eq!(vec![1, 3], filtered);

    /// Used to do a cheap reference-to-reference conversion.
    ///
    /// 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 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 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`.
    ///
    /// [`Borrow`]: ../../std/borrow/trait.Borrow.html
    ///
    /// **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>`].

## 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`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g., `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
