`IntoIterator` now has an extra associated item:
``` rust
trait IntoIterator {
type Item;
type IntoIter: Iterator<Self=Self::Item>;
}
```
This lets you bind the iterator \"`Item`\" directly when writing generic functions:
``` rust
// hypothetical change, not included in this PR
impl Extend<T> for Vec<T> {
// you can now write
fn extend<I>(&mut self, it: I) where I: IntoIterator<Item=T> { .. }
// instead of
fn extend<I: IntoIterator>(&mut self, it: I) where I::IntoIter: Iterator<Item=T> { .. }
}
```
The downside is that now you have to write an extra associated type in your `IntoIterator` implementations:
``` diff
impl<T> IntoIterator for Vec<T> {
+ type Item = T;
type IntoIter = IntoIter<T>;
fn into_iter(self) -> IntoIter<T> { .. }
}
```
Because this breaks all downstream implementations of `IntoIterator`, this is a [breaking-change]
