Description
https://doc.rust-lang.org/unstable-book/language-features/arbitrary-self-types.html
This is probably going to be very annoying as it touches maaaaaany areas of the compiler including typechecking and method probing. This is used by the kernel. This might be worth splitting into its own entire milestone

Research direction
Start with the Rust unstable-book description of arbitrary self types linked in the issue. Map the feature's impact across the compiler, especially typechecking and method probing, before defining a focused milestone or smaller task. Done should include support for arbitrary self types, but the issue does not specify tests or a narrower completion boundary.
