+A `'static` requirement in a return type involving a trait is not fulfilled.
+
+Erroneous code examples:
+
+```compile_fail,E0759
+use std::fmt::Debug;
+
+fn foo(x: &i32) -> impl Debug {
+    x
+}
+```
+
+```compile_fail,E0759
+# use std::fmt::Debug;
+fn bar(x: &i32) -> Box<dyn Debug> {
+    Box::new(x)
+}
+```
+
+These examples have the same semantics as the following:
+
+```compile_fail,E0759
+# use std::fmt::Debug;
+fn foo(x: &i32) -> impl Debug + 'static {
+    x
+}
+```
+
+```compile_fail,E0759
+# use std::fmt::Debug;
+fn bar(x: &i32) -> Box<dyn Debug + 'static> {
+    Box::new(x)
+}
+```
+
+Both [`dyn Trait`] and [`impl Trait`] in return types have a an implicit
+`'static` requirement, meaning that the value implementing them that is being
+returned has to be either a `'static` borrow or an owned value.
+
+In order to change the requirement from `'static` to be a lifetime derived from
+its arguments, you can add an explicit bound, either to an anonymous lifetime
+`'_` or some appropriate named lifetime.
+
+```
+# use std::fmt::Debug;
+fn foo(x: &i32) -> impl Debug + '_ {
+    x
+}
+fn bar(x: &i32) -> Box<dyn Debug + '_> {
+    Box::new(x)
+}
+```
+
+These are equivalent to the following explicit lifetime annotations:
+
+```
+# use std::fmt::Debug;
+fn foo<'a>(x: &'a i32) -> impl Debug + 'a {
+    x
+}
+fn bar<'a>(x: &'a i32) -> Box<dyn Debug + 'a> {
+    Box::new(x)
+}
+```
