Today, items defined within a trait decl (methods, types, consts and even closures inside default method bodies) can refer to the currently-implemented trait using
ImplExpr::SelfId
. This can cause issues where we can't know what theSelfId
clause refers to without doing additional trait resolution, e.g. in a case like this:To make these items less special, this PR gives them an extra
Self: Trait
clause argument, which will be fulfilled by trait resolution whenever they are refered to. Now only the trait declaration itself (and its associated types, while GATs aren't finalized) can useSelfId
, everything else can only refer to numbered local clauses.
