<p>Library authors should not directly implement this trait, but should prefer
implementing the <a href="trait.From.html"><code>From</code></a> trait, which offers greater flexibility and
provides an equivalent <code>Into</code> implementation for free, thanks to a blanket
implementation in the standard library.</p>

<p>There is one exception to implementing <code>Into</code>, 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 <code>From</code> directly. For example,
take this crate:</p>
<pre class="rust rust-example-rendered">

<p>To fix this, you can implement <code>Into</code> directly:</p>

<p>This won't always allow the conversion: for example, <code>try!</code> and <code>?</code>
always use <code>From</code>. However, in most cases, people use <code>Into</code> to do the
conversions, and this will allow that.</p>
<p>In almost all cases, you should try to implement <code>From</code>, then fall back
to <code>Into</code> if <code>From</code> can't be implemented.</p>

<h2>Search Tricks</h2>
<p>
Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g.
<code>fn:</code>) to restrict the search to a given type.
</p>
<p>
Accepted types are: <code>fn</code>, <code>mod</code>,
<code>struct</code>, <code>enum</code>,
<code>trait</code>, <code>type</code>, <code>macro</code>,
and <code>const</code>.
</p>
<p>
Search functions by type signature (e.g.
<code>vec -> usize</code> or <code>* -> vec</code>)
