Description
Per rust-lang/rust#17842, this will probably turn all lifetime identifiers into lifetime paths preceded by '. As a concrete example:
struct Bar<'r>(...);
trait Foo {
lifetime 'a;
lifetime 'b: 'Self::a = 'Self::a;
fn foo(&'Self::a self) -> Bar<'Self::b>;
}
impl<'a> Foo for &'a i32 {
lifetime 'a = 'a;
lifetime 'b = 'static;
fn foo(&'a self) -> Bar<'static> { ... }
}
fn baz<'b, F, G>(f: &F, g: &G) where
F: Foo,
G: Foo<'a = 'F::a>,
'F::a: 'b,
{
...
}
