// This special case is handled somewhat inconsistently - if we
// have an inference variable that is supposed to be equal to
// `'static`, then we don't allow it to be equated to an LBR,
// but if we have a literal `'static`, then we *do*.
//
// This is actually consistent with how our region inference works.
//
// It would appear that this sort of inconsistency would
// cause "instability" problems with evaluation caching. However,
// evaluation caching is only for trait predicates, and when
// trait predicates create nested obligations, they contain
// inference variables for all the regions in the trait - the
// only way this codepath can be reached from trait predicate
// evaluation is when the user typed an explicit `where 'static: 'a`
// lifetime bound (in which case we want to return EvaluatedToOk).
//
// If we ever want to handle inference variables that might be
// equatable with ReStatic, we need to make sure we are not confused by
// technically-allowed-by-RFC-447-but-probably-should-not-be
// impls such as
// ```Rust
// impl<'a, 's, T> X<'s> for T where T: Debug + 'a, 'a: 's

// lifetimes.
// It is possible to solve `for<'a> 'x: 'a` where `'x`
// is a free region by forcing `'x = 'static`. However,
// fulfillment does not *quite* do this ATM (it calls
// `region_outlives_predicate`, which is OK if `'x` is
// literally ReStatic, but is *not* OK if `'x` is any
// sort of inference variable, even if it *is* equal
// to `'static`).
// If we ever want to handle that sort of obligations,
// we need to make sure we are not confused by
// technically-allowed-by-RFC-447-but-probably-should-not-be

// impl<'a, 's, T> X<'s> for T where T: Debug + 's, 'a: 's
// ```
// It might be possible to prove `for<'a> 'x: 'a` by forcing `'x`
// to be `'static`. However, this is not currently done by type
// inference unless `'x` is literally ReStatic. See the comment
// above.
// We don't want to allow this sort of reasoning in intercrate
// mode, for backwards-compatibility reasons.
