A lifetime-dependent bound is not merged into a higher-ranked lifetime bound

[fjarri]

MRE:

trait Lifetime<'a> {}
trait AnyLifetime: for<'a> Lifetime<'a> {}
struct A<T: AnyLifetime>(core::marker::PhantomData<T>);
trait MyTrait<'a> {}
impl<'a, T: AnyLifetime + Lifetime<'a>> MyTrait<'a> for A<T> {}

The last line produces an error

error[E0283]: type annotations needed: cannot satisfy `T: Lifetime<'a>`
  --> src/main.rs:10:27
   |
10 | impl<'a, T: AnyLifetime + Lifetime<'a>> MyTrait<'a> for A<T> {}
   |                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^
   |
note: multiple `impl`s or `where` clauses satisfying `T: Lifetime<'a>` found
  --> src/main.rs:10:13
   |
10 | impl<'a, T: AnyLifetime + Lifetime<'a>> MyTrait<'a> for A<T> {}

Clearly, if T: for<'a> Lifetime<'a> then T: Lifetime<'a>, so the second bound should have just been ignored.

This issue arises in a generated code (in my case, in serde-generated impls), so the additional bound cannot be removed manually.

Not specific to higher-ranked lifetimes. See also #21974. Pretty sure your issue is a dupe of the older one, tho there's a chance I might be wrong about this
