I did a bit of googling, and this seems to be a well known issue with
the current implementation of lifetime analysis in the rust compiler.
Apparently this kind of code used to be OK [1] but the Rust devs decided
to remove the code that allowed this, because it was causing excessive
compilation times [2]. The upside is that this is solved by the new
lifetime analysis implementation called "Polonius" and it is the
intention to replace the existing implementation with Polonius at some
point [3].
Best regards,
