+`async fn`/`impl trait` return type cannot contain a projection or `Self` that references lifetimes from a parent scope.
+
+Erroneous code example:
+
+```compile_fail,E0754,edition2018
+struct S<'a>(&'a i32);
+
+impl<'a> S<'a> {
+    async fn new(i: &'a i32) -> Self {
+        S(&22)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+To fix this error we need to spell out `Self` to `S<'a>`:
+
+```edition2018
+struct S<'a>(&'a i32);
+
+impl<'a> S<'a> {
+    async fn new(i: &'a i32) -> S<'a> {
+        S(&22)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+This will be allowed at some point in the future, but the implementation is not yet complete. See the [issue-61949] for this limitation.
