This often means that there is an unbounded +recursion in resolving some type bounds. + +To determine if a `T` is `Foo`, we need to check if `Bar<T>` is `Foo`. However, +to do this check, we need to determine that `Bar<Bar<T>>` is `Foo`. To +determine this, we check if `Bar<Bar<Bar<T>>>` is `Foo`, and so on.
