The overload incompatibilities rely on confusion between:
item: T = c_size_tandcount: size_targumentsitem: T = Iteratoranditer_from: Iteratorarguments - would result in type cycles, but the trait solver might not careI also included an example of poor ergonomics:
item: T = forward_listandother: &/&mut forward_listarguments - differs by&/&mut, but Rust has auto-ref and auto-derefThe initializer list overloads are the core problem here, this may become a pattern. But there isn't a strong equivalent of list initializers in Rust, so we could write these off as inexpressible.
