Rust does not have implicit type conversions.

Not in practice. It's only used for reference coercions to existing objects.

You would need to ignore the documentation and bend over backwards to use it for an actual type conversion, because you can only return references.

Bending backwards is a synonym to code quality delivered by consulting/offshoring projects across most big corporations.
