Before Rust 1.29.0, Clippy introduced the `cast_lossless` lint [1]:
Rust’s `as` keyword will perform many kinds of conversions, including silently lossy conversions. Conversion functions such as `i32::from` will only perform lossless conversions. Using the conversion functions prevents conversions from becoming silently lossy if the input types ever change, and makes it clear for people reading the code that the conversion is lossless.
While this doesn't eliminate unchecked `as` conversions, it makes such conversions easier to scrutinize. It also has the slight benefit of removing a degree of freedom on which to bikeshed. Thus apply the changes and enable the lint -- no functional change intended.
