error[E0521]: borrowed data escapes outside of function

   |         |
   |         `x` escapes the function body here
   |         argument requires that `'a` must outlive `'static`
   |
   = note: requirement occurs because of the type Invariant<'_>, which makes the generic argument '_ invariant
   = note: the struct Invariant<'a> is invariant over the parameter 'a
   = help: see <https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/subtyping.html> for more information about variance
