Description
A case like this: <V as Initializer>::is_fixed_size() may be simplified to: V::is_fixed_size() when it is unambiguous.
Maybe it's hard to figure out when the simple case is unambiguous, I just fixed a couple of the long form (that code dated from before the short form was allowed) and maybe clippy could have suggested it.

Research direction
Start with the reported <V as Initializer>::is_fixed_size() example and investigate how Clippy could determine when the shorter V::is_fixed_size() form is unambiguous. No files or tests are named; done means the applicable long forms receive a correct simplification suggestion without changing ambiguous cases.
