// Ensure that you cannot use generic types to return a region outside
// of its bound.  Here, in the `return_it()` fn, we call with() but
// with R bound to &int from the return_it.  Meanwhile, with()
// provides a value that is only good within its own stack frame. This
// used to successfully compile because we failed to account for the
// fact that fn(x: &int) rebound the region &.
