Back in the day we made this an associated function to avoid relying on raw-ptr self types. I'd like to know if that is still a concern -- I hope we can stabilize #74265 and #71146 soon, and while strangely those do not require the
arbitrary_self_types
feature, I would think that for the compiler and type system those are very similar cases. So I'd like to see if we are comfortable having stable methods with raw pointer self types. I expect this will need t-lang FCP (and t-libs-api), and also t-types involvement.So @rust-lang/types, what are your thoughts here? This has to pass by you before we send it to the top-level teams; I don't know if we should make one big FCP for all 3 teams or how else t-types should best be involved here.
