refining_impl_trait: The suggested fix does not yet take precise capturing into account.

Code

pub trait Trait {
    fn precise_capturing(&self) -> impl use<Self> + Send;
}

impl Trait for () {
    fn precise_capturing(&self) -> () {}
}

Current output

warning: impl trait in impl method signature does not match trait method signature

Rationale and extra context

It's a slight inconvenience since the code won't compile after the current quick-fix is applied:

error: return type captures more lifetimes than trait definition
 --> src\lib.rs:6:36
  |
2 |     fn precise_capturing(&self) -> impl use<Self> + Send;
  |                          - this lifetime was captured
...
6 |     fn precise_capturing(&self) -> impl Send {}
  |                                    ^^^^^^^^^
  |
note: hidden type must only reference lifetimes captured by this impl trait
 --> src\lib.rs:2:36
  |
2 |     fn precise_capturing(&self) -> impl use<Self> + Send;
  |                                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  = note: hidden type inferred to be `impl Send`

Copying it from the trait works, but requires removing Self from the use<> and occasionally more type parameters to be added.

No response

Start by compiling the supplied src/lib.rs reproduction with the reported Rust version and compare the current and desired diagnostics. Trace the refining_impl_trait warning’s suggested replacement, then add or update coverage so the help text preserves the trait’s precise use<> captures and the suggestion compiles.
