Research direction
Start with the lifetime elision chapter in the Rust Reference, then compare its current text with RFC 0141 and the implementation, separation, and stabilization PRs linked in the issue. Update the chapter to document the stabilized impl-header rules and verify that the wording matches the implemented behavior.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Stabilized in 1.31 (all editions), the lifetime elision chapter needs to be updated for impl headers.
- Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/15872
- RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0141-lifetime-elision.md
- Implementation: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/49251
- Separation: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/53016
- Stabilization PR: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/54778
I looked at updating this, but things have diverged from the RFC, so the new rules are not clear to me.
