Trouble unifying function types involving HRTB

[Manishearth]

Spawned off of #84937 (comment)

Code example

trait MiniYokeable<'a> {
    type Output;
}

struct MiniYoke<Y: for<'a> MiniYokeable<'a>> {
    pub yokeable: Y,
}

fn map_project_broken<Y, P>(
    source: MiniYoke<Y>,
    f: impl for<'a> FnOnce(
        <Y as MiniYokeable<'a>>::Output,
        core::marker::PhantomData<&'a ()>,
    ) -> <P as MiniYokeable<'a>>::Output,
) -> MiniYoke<P>
where
    Y: for<'a> MiniYokeable<'a>,
    P: for<'a> MiniYokeable<'a>
{
    unimplemented!()
}

struct Bar<'a> {
    string_1: &'a str,
    string_2: &'a str,
}

impl<'a> MiniYokeable<'a> for Bar<'static> {
    type Output = Bar<'a>;
}

impl<'a> MiniYokeable<'a> for &'static str {
    type Output = &'a str;
}

fn demo_broken(bar: MiniYoke<Bar<'static>>) -> MiniYoke<&'static str> {
    map_project_broken(bar, |bar, _| bar.string_1)
}

(playpen)
throws an error of

51 |     map_project_broken(bar, |bar, _| bar.string_1)
   |     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^      --------------------- found signature of `for<'r> fn(Bar<'r>, PhantomData<&'r ()>) -> _`
   |     |
   |     expected signature of `for<'a> fn(<Bar<'_> as MiniYokeable<'a>>::Output, PhantomData<&'a ()>) -> _`

This error is incorrect: <Bar<'_> as MiniYokeable<'a>>::Output is the same thing as Bar<'a>.

I wonder if #88441 will fix this.

[Manishearth]

@jackh726 it changes the error to

Hmm

[aliemjay]

Seems to be the same as #90875; adding type annotations fixes the problem (playground).

@Manishearth can you confirm this? You may want to close this in favor of #90875 which contains a minimal example otherwise I'm happy to close mine as a duplicate.

@aliemjay Ah, I see. Thanks!
