Scala 3 has implicit conversions, for example:
given Conversion[String, Token] with
def apply(str: String): Token = new KeyWord(str)
Can an implicit conversion be defined between generic types (e.g. between lists and vectors)? If, so, how would it look?
given listVectorConversion[T]: Conversion[List[T], Vector[T]] with
def apply(x: List[T]): Vector[T] = x.toVector
(Personally, Iād strive to keep implicit conversions to a minimum in general, and specifically for collections - collection polymorphism already comes with enough pitfalls as is.)

Thank you!
(I just used lists and vectors as a simple example.)
