+    // This method is designed to work around the following issue:
+    // When we compute auto trait bounds, we repeatedly call SelectionContext.select,
+    // progressively building a ParamEnv based on the results we get.
+    // However, our usage of SelectionContext differs from its normal use within the compiler,
+    // in that we capture and re-reprocess predicates from Unimplemented errors.
+    //
+    // This can lead to a corner case when dealing with region parameters.
+    // During our selection loop in evaluate_predicates, we might end up with
+    // two trait predicates that differ only in their region parameters:
+    // one containing a HRTB lifetime parameter, and one containing a 'normal'
+    // lifetime parameter. For example:
+    //
+    // T as MyTrait<'a>
+    // T as MyTrait<'static>
+    //
+    // If we put both of these predicates in our computed ParamEnv, we'll

+    // To solve this, we pick the 'more strict' lifetime bound - i.e. the HRTB
