Current output
method `call_handler` has an incompatible type for trait
expected signature `fn(&mut core::flows::AllSuperstates<_>, &mut _, &core::flows::AllEvents<_>, &mut _) -> impl futures::Future<Output = Outcome<<S as statig::awaitable::IntoStateMachine>::State>>`
   found signature `fn(&mut core::flows::AllSuperstates<_>, &mut _, &core::flows::AllEvents<_>, &mut _) -> impl futures::Future<Output = Outcome<<S as statig::awaitable::IntoStateMachine>::State>>`
Desired output
No error
Rationale and extra context

Trying to do some work extending Statig, pretty intense type and lifetime bounds. It looks like the compiler became confused at some point sorting through the type bounds, and shows an error that the expected and found signature do not match, except that they do.

Research direction

No repository file or test is named. Start by compiling the provided reproducer with rustc 1.87.0, then inspect the trait bounds and lifetime relationships around AllStates::call_handler and AllSuperstates::call_handler. Reduce the example while preserving the identical expected and found signatures; done means the reported case produces the desired result or a meaningful diagnostic.
