Rust actually has this, this works:

    fn main() {
        let x = 5i32;
        let y: i64 = x.into();
        println!("{}", y);
    }

this doesn't work:

    fn main() {
        let x = 5i32;
        let y: i16 = x.into();
        println!("{}", y);
    }

you have to write:

    fn main() {
        let x = 5i32;
        let y = x as i16;
        println!("{}", y);
    }

where `as` has the potential of being lossy!
