Beta regression error "trait ... is not implemented for `usize`"

[ketotek]

Hello,

I have hit this strange error after updating the nightly(and beta) compiler. I tried the code below, this is a minimized version from a larger code base. Here is it on playground.

trait MyIterator {
	type Item;
}

trait ObjectTrait {
	fn size(&self) -> u32;
}

trait ObjectCollectionTrait<'a> {
	type ItemType: 'a + ObjectTrait;
	type Iter: MyIterator<Item = &'a Self::ItemType>;
}

impl ObjectTrait for u32 {
	fn size(&self) -> u32 {
		0
	}
}

struct ObjectCollection<'a> {
	collection: &'a ObjectCollectionTrait<'a, ItemType = u32, Iter = MyIterator<Item = &'a u32>>
}

fn main() {}

I am getting this error and I don't know how usize is involved here.

error[E0277]: the trait bound `usize: ObjectCollectionTrait<'a>` is not satisfied
--> src/main.rs:21:1

After bisecting for a while, I discovered the error appears starting with this version of nightly:

$ rustc --version --verbose
rustc 1.30.0-nightly (f2302daef 2018-09-12)
binary: rustc
commit-hash: f2302daef3608c09e2b50193a64611b18ced86f3
commit-date: 2018-09-12
host: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
release: 1.30.0-nightly
LLVM version: 8.0

The build from the day before doesn't show this error (and stable is also fine):

$ rustc --version --verbose
rustc 1.30.0-nightly (2f1547c0a 2018-09-11)

This has a fix

[nikomatsakis]

Also included already in #56102 for backport

Ok great!
