Let's deprecate `as` for lossy numeric casts

One question I'd like to ask (for the pre pre pre rfc that is this thread) is if it's okay for certain as casts to be broken into multiple operations. For instance -7i8 as u32 could be replaced with u32::bit_reinterpret_mod(i32::from(-7i8)) if no direct operation is added.
