    /// The `implicit_provenance_casts` lint detects integer-to-pointer and pointer-to-integer
    /// casts.
    ///
    /// ### Example
    ///
    /// ```rust
    /// #![feature(strict_provenance_lints)]
    /// #![warn(implicit_provenance_casts)]
    ///
    /// fn main() {
    ///     let x: u8 = 37;
    ///     let addr: usize = &x as *const u8 as usize;
    ///     let _ptr = addr as *const u8;
    /// }
    /// ```
    ///
    /// {{produces}}
    ///
    /// ### Explanation
    ///
    /// This lint exists to help migrate code to [*Strict Provenance* APIs][strict-provenance] where
    /// possible, and make remaining uses of [*Exposed Provenance*][exposed-provenance] explicit.
    /// For more information on pointer provenance, see the [`std::ptr` documentation][provenance].
    ///
    /// Earlier versions of Rust did not have a clear answer how integer-to-pointer and
    /// pointer-to-integer casts interact with provenance. Such casts are now defined to use the
    /// exposed provenance model, but in many cases the code can be updated to strict provenance
    /// APIs, which is preferable as it enables more precise reasoning about unsafe code, both by
    /// humans and by tools like [Miri].
    ///
    /// However, there are situations where exposed provenance is required or following the strict
    /// provenance model requires major refactorings. In those cases, it's still useful to replace
    /// the `as` casts with equivalent explicit use of exposed provenance APIs and a comment
    /// explaining why they are needed.
    ///
