Research direction
Reproduce the ICE with the supplied closure_lifetime_binder example on a current nightly, then inspect compiler/rustc_borrowck/src/universal_regions.rs around line 928 and the push_region_constraints and ascribe_user_type paths named in the backtrace. Determine the expected handling of the explicit late-bound lifetime, ensure the example no longer triggers an internal compiler error, and add regression coverage if the relevant test location is identified.
