This error indicates a violation of one of Rust's orphan rules for trait
implementations. The rule concerns the use of type parameters in an
implementation of a foreign trait (a trait defined in another crate), and
states that type parameters must be "covered" by a local type. To understand
what this means, it is perhaps easiest to consider a few examples.
states that type parameters must be "covered" by a local type.
When implementing a foreign trait for a foreign type,
the trait must have one or more type parameters.
A type local to your crate must appear before any use of any type parameters.
To understand what this means, it is perhaps easier to consider a few examples.
If `ForeignTrait` is a trait defined in some external crate `foo`, then the
following trait `impl` is an error:

Both of the folowing must be true:

2. No uncovered type parameters P1..=Pm may appear in T0..Ti (excluding Ti).
