Description

I updated my nightly rust toolchain to version 1.54.0-nightly (f64503eb5 2021-05-23) and cannot compile the waterbox host in any configuration anymore.
Seems to be due to some updates regarding try_trait which I understand almost nothing about.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the waterbox host compilation failure with Rust nightly 1.54.0-nightly (f64503eb5 2021-05-23), then inspect the compiler output around the reported try_trait changes. The issue names no files or tests; done means the waterbox host compiles again in every configuration.
