+Cannot use the associated type of
+a trait with uninferred generic parameters.
+
+Erroneous code example:
+
+```compile_fail,E0212
+pub trait Foo<T> {
+    type A;
+
+    fn get(&self, t: T) -> Self::A;
+}
+
+fn foo2<I : for<'x> Foo<&'x isize>>(
+    field: I::A) {} // error!
+```
+
+In this example, we have to instantiate `'x`, and
+we don't know what lifetime to instantiate it with.
+To fix this, spell out the precise lifetimes involved.
+Example:
+
+```
+pub trait Foo<T> {
+    type A;
+
+    fn get(&self, t: T) -> Self::A;
+}
+
+fn foo3<I : for<'x> Foo<&'x isize>>(
+    x: <I as Foo<&isize>>::A) {} // ok!
+
+
+fn foo4<'a, I : for<'x> Foo<&'x isize>>(
+    x: <I as Foo<&'a isize>>::A) {} // ok!
+```
