Alias for trait and associated type's trait

Hi! Currently I write:

fn read<T>() -> T
where
    T: FromStr,
    <T as FromStr>::Err: Debug,
{
    let mut buf = String::new();
    stdin().read_line(&mut buf).unwrap();
    buf.trim().parse::<T>().unwrap()
}

However, I would like to write:

trait Input = ???;

fn read<T: Input>() -> T
{
    ...;
}

Is that possible?

Hi, this is the best I can do, it's not really better than your code:

fn read<T: Input>() -> T
where T::Err: Debug {
    // -- snip --
}

trait Input: FromStr where Self::Err: Debug {}

I believe this RFC and this one would allow:

fn read<T: Input>() -> T {
    // -- snip --
}

trait Input: FromStr<Err: Debug> {}
