+    * These implicit classes allow one to convert scala.Int|scala.BigInt to
+    * Chisel.UInt|Chisel.SInt by calling .asUInt|.asSInt on them, respectively.
+    * The versions .asUInt(width)|.asSInt(width) are also available to explicitly
+    * mark a width for the new literal.
+    *
+    * Also provides .asBool to scala.Boolean and .asUInt to String
+    *
+    * Note that, for stylistic reasons, one should avoid extracting immediately
+    * after this call using apply, ie. 0.asUInt(1)(0) due to potential for
+    * confusion (the 1 is a bit length and the 0 is a bit extraction position).
+    * Prefer storing the result and then extracting from it.
+    *
+    * Implementation note: the empty parameter list (like `U()`) is necessary to prevent
+    * interpreting calls that have a non-Width parameter as a chained apply, otherwise things like
+    * `0.asUInt(16)` (instead of `16.W`) compile without error and produce undesired results.
