//! Traits for conversions between types.
//!
//! The traits in this module provide a general way to talk about conversions
//! from one type to another. They follow the standard Rust conventions of
//! `as`/`into`/`from`.
//!
//! Like many traits, these are often used as bounds for generic functions, to
//! support arguments of multiple types.
//!
//! - Implement the `As*` traits for reference-to-reference conversions
//! - Implement the [`Into`] trait when you want to consume the value in the conversion
//! - The [`From`] trait is the most flexible, useful for value _and_ reference conversions
//! - The [`TryFrom`] and [`TryInto`] traits behave like [`From`] and [`Into`], but allow for the
//!   conversion to fail
//!
//! As a library author, you should 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.
//!
//! # 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.

/// An identity function.
///
/// 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 do_stuff = if condition { manipulation } else { identity };
///
/// // do more interesting stuff..
///
/// let _results = do_stuff(42);
/// ```
///
/// Using `identity` to keep the `Some` variants of an iterator of `Option<T>`:
///
/// ```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);
/// ```

/// A cheap reference-to-reference conversion. Used to convert a value to a
/// reference value within generic code.
///
/// `AsRef` is very similar to, but serves a slightly different purpose than,
/// [`Borrow`].
///
/// `AsRef` is to be used when wishing to convert to a reference of another
/// type.
/// `Borrow` is more related to the notion of taking the reference. It is
/// useful when wishing to abstract over the type of reference
/// (`&T`, `&mut T`) or allow both the referenced and owned type to be treated
/// in the same manner.
///
/// The key difference between the two traits is the intention:
///
/// - Use `AsRef` when the goal is to simply convert into a reference
/// - Use `Borrow` when the goal is related to writing code that is agnostic to
///   the type of borrow and whether it is a reference or value
///
/// See [the book][book] for a more detailed comparison.
///
/// [book]: ../../book/first-edition/borrow-and-asref.html
/// [`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>`].
///
/// [`Option<T>`]: ../../std/option/enum.Option.html
/// [`Result<T, E>`]: ../../std/result/enum.Result.html
///
/// # 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
///
/// Both [`String`] and `&str` implement `AsRef<str>`:
///
/// [`String`]: ../../std/string/struct.String.html
///
/// ```
/// fn is_hello<T: AsRef<str>>(s: T) {
///    assert_eq!("hello", s.as_ref());
/// }
///
/// let s = "hello";
/// is_hello(s);
///

/// # Generic Implementations
///
/// - [`From<T>`][From]` for U` implies `Into<U> for T`
/// - [`into`] is reflexive, which means that `Into<T> for T` is implemented
///
/// # Implementing `Into`
///
/// There is one exception to implementing `Into`, and it's kind of esoteric.
/// If the destination type is not part of the current crate, and it uses a
/// generic variable, then you can't implement `From` directly.  For example,
/// take this crate:
///
/// ```compile_fail
/// struct Wrapper<T>(Vec<T>);
/// impl<T> From<Wrapper<T>> for Vec<T> {
///     fn from(w: Wrapper<T>) -> Vec<T> {
///         w.0
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// To fix this, you can implement `Into` directly:
///
/// ```
/// struct Wrapper<T>(Vec<T>);
/// impl<T> Into<Vec<T>> for Wrapper<T> {
///     fn into(self) -> Vec<T> {
///         self.0
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// This won't always allow the conversion: for example, `try!` and `?`
/// always use `From`. However, in most cases, people use `Into` to do the
/// conversions, and this will allow that.
///
/// In almost all cases, you should try to implement `From`, then fall back
/// to `Into` if `From` can't be implemented.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// [`String`] implements `Into<Vec<u8>>`:
///
/// ```
/// fn is_hello<T: Into<Vec<u8>>>(s: T) {
///    let bytes = b"hello".to_vec();
///    assert_eq!(bytes, s.into());
/// }

/// This trait is useful when performing error handling as described by
/// [the book][book] and is closely related to the `?` operator.
///
/// When constructing a function that is capable of failing the return type
/// will generally be of the form `Result<T, E>`.
///
/// The `From` trait allows for simplification of error handling by providing a
/// means of returning a single error type that encapsulates numerous possible
/// erroneous situations.
///
/// This trait is not limited to error handling, rather the general case for
/// this trait would be in any type conversions to have an explicit definition
/// of how they are performed.
///
/// **Note: this trait must not fail**. If the conversion can fail, use
/// [`TryFrom`] or a dedicated method which returns an [`Option<T>`] or a
/// [`Result<T, E>`].

/// # Generic Implementations

/// - `From<T> for U` implies [`Into<U>`]` for T`

///
/// ```
/// let string = "hello".to_string();
/// let other_string = String::from("hello");
///
/// assert_eq!(string, other_string);
/// ```
///
/// An example usage for error handling:
///
/// ```
/// use std::fs;
/// use std::io;
/// use std::num;
///
/// enum CliError {
///     IoError(io::Error),
///     ParseError(num::ParseIntError),
