Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #3762 and the generic-parameter handling related to the shown struct Foo<T = U, U = ()> example. Determine the intended forward type declaration ban and verify that this example is diagnosed consistently; the issue provides no file or test location, so consult the existing compiler tests before defining completion.
