"is not an iterator" diagnostic through blanket implementation, when the type is actually an iterator but is missing a marker

[progval]

Code

(inspired by rayon's ParallelBridge)

pub trait ParallelBridge: Sized {
    // Required method
    fn par_bridge(self) -> ();
}

impl<T: Iterator + Send> ParallelBridge for T
where
    T::Item: Send,
{
    fn par_bridge(self) -> () {
        unimplemented!("par_bridge");
    }
}


fn f(it: impl Iterator<Item=u64>) {
    it.map(|i| i+1).par_bridge()
}

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let (_tx, rx) = std::sync::mpsc::sync_channel(1000);
    f(rx.iter());

    Ok(())
}

Desired output

The same error there is when removing the .map()

Rationale and extra context

The error indicated the type does not implement Iterator, even though it does and Send is the one that is missing.

Similar to #124802?

Here is a slightly smaller reproduction that only uses core and has a more egregious error message (“impl Iterator is not an iterator”). Reduced from a case found by @zakarumych.

trait Missing {}
trait HasMethod {
    fn foo(self);
}
impl<T: Iterator + Missing> HasMethod for T {
    fn foo(self) {}
}

fn get_iter() -> impl Iterator {
    // any Iterator impl will do
    core::iter::once(())
}

fn main() {
    get_iter().foo();
}

error[E0599]: no method named `foo` found for opaque type `impl Iterator` in the current scope
