I think we should at least ask -- done here:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/15337
Though, thinking about it, an explicit function may provide value
nevertheless to clearly see where this happens, and it also means that
when we see `into()` we know it cannot be a no-op.
Having said that, regardless of what we do for that lint, giving more
information to the compiler is generally a good idea, even if only for
notes/diagnostics etc.
