 ### Why is this bad?
 In some problem domains, it is good practice to avoid
 truncation. This lint can be activated to help assess where additional
-checks could be beneficial.
+checks could be beneficial, and suggests implementing TryFrom trait.
 
 ### Example
 ```
 fn as_u8(x: u64) -> u8 {
     x as u8
 }
-```
