/// A trait for engines converting plaintext vectors.
///
/// # Semantics
///
/// This [pure](super#operation-semantics) operation generates a plaintext vector containing the
/// conversion of the `input` plaintext vector to a type with a different representation (for
/// instance from cpu to gpu memory).
///
/// # Formal Definition
pub trait PlaintextVectorConversionEngine<Input, Output>: AbstractEngine

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