Expand description

The `late_bound_lifetime_arguments` lint detects generic lifetime arguments in path segments with late bound lifetime parameters.

#### §Example

    struct S;

    impl S {
        fn late(self, _: &u8, _: &u8) {}
    }

    fn main() {
        S.late::<'static>(&0, &0);
    }

{{produces}}

#### §Explanation

It is not clear how to provide arguments for early-bound lifetime parameters if they are intermixed with late-bound parameters in the same list. For now, providing any explicit arguments will trigger this lint if late-bound parameters are present, so in the future a solution can be adopted without hitting backward compatibility issues. This is a future-incompatible lint to transition this to a hard error in the future. See issue #42868 for more details, along with a description of the difference between early and late-bound parameters.
