Description
Rust 1.79 stabilized the associated item bounds syntax. Given how extensively this project uses generics, we should see if this change allows for any simplifications anywhere, such as unnecessary associated types that were used for enforcing bounds.

Research direction
Start by surveying the project's generic-heavy Rust code and comparing its associated-type bounds with the associated item bounds syntax stabilized in Rust 1.79. Done means identifying concrete applicable simplifications and determining whether any previously necessary associated types can be removed.
