/// Currently, some uses of the `as` operator are not entirely safe.
/// In particular, it is undefined behavior if:
///
/// - A truncated floating point value cannot fit in the target integer
/// type ([#10184](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/10184));
///
/// ```ignore
/// # use num_traits::AsPrimitive;
/// let x: u8 = (1.04E+17).as_(); // UB
/// ```
///
/// - Or a floating point value does not fit in another floating
/// point type ([#15536](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/15536)).

/// # use num_traits::AsPrimitive;
