Description

Currently many error types are have attached lifetimes. This means they can not be boxed and bubbled up. It'd be great if errors were fully "owned", and did not have attached lifetimes. I don't think this should be super terrible for perf, as errors are usually very much an edge case.

The bigger question is: how could this be done?

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the error types with attached lifetimes and tracing where they are created and propagated. Done means determining and implementing a design that makes those errors fully owned so they can be boxed and bubbled up without attached lifetimes.
