Types can implicitly be coerced to change in certain contexts. These changes are
4
- generally just * weakening* of types, largely focused around pointers and lifetimes.
5
- They mostly exist to make Rust "just work" in more cases, and are largely harmless.

- * Transitivity: ` T_1 ` to ` T_3 ` where ` T_1 ` coerces to ` T_2 ` and ` T_2 ` coerces to ` T_3 `
