+`impl Trait` is not allowed in path parameters.
+
+Erroneous code example:
+
+```compile_fail,E0667
+fn some_fn(mut x: impl Iterator) -> <impl Iterator>::Item { // error!
+    x.next().unwrap()
+}
+```
+
+You cannot use `impl Trait` in path parameters. If you want something
+equivalent, you can do this instead:
+
+```
+fn some_fn<T: Iterator>(mut x: T) -> T::Item { // ok!
+    x.next().unwrap()
+}
+```
