This lacks any support for impl trait in type aliases (assoc or free) and functions are not fully supported as we lack lifetime elision. RPITs should also be supported here, but we don't count them as

yet so.The inference does not work perfectly unfortunately as it may run into query cycles which we would need to resolve via fixpoint iteration which current salsa does not support (see module doc). Likewise, Const expressions can affect whether a parameter turns invariant which we also lack sometimes.
