@buherator Ignoring your question for a second, I filed https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/135589 to add more context to the error and error index entry corresponding to these cases. As the sister comment mentioned, lifetimes on associated items are new(er than The Book) so they are not as well introduced in the documentation.
@buherator pretty happy with how this shaped up
