TL; DR: I am trying to hide implementation details of a generic type. When using it, I don't need to know what are the bound of that type: // This function doesn't need to know what trait T implements pub fn usage<T: WhateverImplementationDetails>(wrapper: &Wrapper<T>) { wrapper.nice_public_fun…

This is something that will be allowed eventually by the Implied Bounds RFC . However, making that work within the existing trait system ends up being super complicated, so I believe it's currently blocked on integrating the new type solving system, chalk , with rustc. As a plus, chalk already handles…

Is it possible to hide the bound of a generic type parameter?
