[1.22.0-nightly, 2017-09-01] ICE during regular compilation

[jjpe]

I'm pretty sure this bug is somehow related to the impl trait feature as I was implementing a fn that returns an impl std::iter::Iterator<Item=&Node> for some struct Node. It also seems related to lifetime elision rules, as that is the differentiating factor.

Interestingly, this compiles:

    /// Return a left-to-right iterator over this `Node`'s children
    pub fn child_iter_left<'l>(&'l self) -> impl std::iter::Iterator<Item = &'l Node> {
        self.children_ref().iter()
    }

While this does not:

    /// Return a left-to-right iterator over this `Node`'s children
    pub fn child_iter_left(&self) -> impl std::iter::Iterator<Item = &Node> {
        self.children_ref().iter()
    }

In fact, when I compile using the latter form, I get an ICE:

error: internal compiler error: src/librustc_typeck/check/mod.rs:633: escaping regions in predicate Obligation(predicate=Binder(ProjectionPredicate(ProjectionTy { substs: Slice([_]), item_def_id: DefId { krate: CrateNum(2), node: DefIndex(1599) => core/3881d98::iter[0]::iterator[0]::Iterator[0]::Item[0] } }, &Node)),depth=0)
   --> src/lib.rs:432:38
    |
432 |     pub fn child_iter_left(&self) -> impl Iterator<Item = &Node> {
    |                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

note: the compiler unexpectedly panicked. this is a bug.
