It's useful to have something that does the job of "as", but I dislike how the most dangerous tool for type conversions has the nicest syntax. Most of the time I want the behavior of ".try_into().unwrap()" (with the compiler optimizing the checks away if it's always safe) or would even prefer a version that only works if the conversion is safe and lossless (something I can reason about right now, but want to ensure even after refactorings). The latter is really hard to achieve, and ".try_into.unwrap()" is 20 characters where "as" is 2. Not a big deal to type with autocomplete, but a lot of visual clutter.
