Summary

This method returns the variances of the generic parameters of the struct with the given def_id. Contrary to what the documentation suggests, when given the def_id of a generic parameter of a struct, it returns an empty slice.

Good catch, feel free to submit a patch!

Small correction: ... of the *item given by the DefId [where item refers to ADTs, lazy type aliases, free and associated functions].
