///
/// # Semantics
///
/// This [pure](super#operation-semantics) operation generates a cleartext vector containing the
/// conversion of the `input` cleartext vector to a type with a different representation (for
/// instance from cpu to gpu memory).
///
/// # Formal Definition

/// # Safety
/// For the _general_ safety concerns regarding this operation, refer to the different variants
/// of [`CleartextVectorConversionError`]. For safety concerns _specific_ to an engine, refer to
/// the implementer safety section.
