Description : Go library for number type conversions safe from accidental overflow
Avoid accidental overflow of numbers during go type conversions (e.g
instead of shorter := bigger.(int8) type conversions use shorter :=
safecast.MustConvert[int8](bigger).
.
Safecast allows one to safely convert between numeric types in Go and
return errors (or panic when using the Must* variants) when the cast
would result in a loss of precision, range or sign.
This is a dependency of arduino-cli (#1100073).
