Description
At the moment, we simply emit errors like:
error[E0282]: type annotations needed
  --> $DIR/method-chain.rs:21:33
   |
LL |     Foo.bar().bar().bar().bar().baz();
   |                                 ^^^
   |
   = note: cannot infer the value of the const parameter `N`
It would be good to suggest to the user how to fix this, like with uninferred type arguments.
