<h3 id="Conversions">Conversions</h3>

<p>
A conversion changes the <a href="#Types">type</a> of an expression
to the type specified by the conversion.
A conversion may appear literally in the source, or it may be <i>implied</i>
by the context in which an expression appears.
</p>

<p>
An <i>explicit</i> conversion is an expression of the form <code>T(x)</code>

That means that any value read in Python from an environment variable will be a `str`, and any conversion to a different type or validation has to be done in code.

    * when converter flag "_experimenal_use_buffer_offset" is enabled, additional metadata is automatically excluded from the generated model. The behaviour is the same as "exclude_conversion_metadata" is set
    * If the model is larger than 2GB, then we also require "exclude_conversion_metadata" flag to be set

	// List of endpoints provided on the command line.
	endpoints PoolEndpoints

	// String version of all the endpoints, an optimization
	// to avoid url.String() conversion taking CPU on
	// large disk setups.
	endpointStrings []string

	// Total number of sets and the number of disks per set.
