This requires that all generics are
'static
for the traits to work. It is theoretically possible to generate impls for non-'static
generics, but at that point the bounds get really complicated and I don't see much of a use case for this kind of thing.There's some tricky code involved in generating the bounds. This code isn't safety-crucial, however the
'static
bounds are.Fortunately, the safety invariants are usually handled by
Yokeable::transform()
proving covariance automatically, so we don't need to do much additional work except when proving covariance manually.
