1. All uses of `as` for type conversion. 2. All the syntactic sugar for raw pointers, especially the pointer dereferencing operator. 3. Most of the OS-related functionality of libstd, esp. `std::net`, esp. `ToSocketAddrs`. Most languages have the same problematic stuff though.

This is fair, and I agree with #1 and #3 (though not #2). All comparatively minor stuff though.

So if it's minor, we should announce deprecation of the APIs in question with the next edition and phase it out in 2024.

I’m fine with killing “as”, though we need full const fn for that.
