+This error indicates that a lifetime is missing from a type. If it is an error

+Here are some simple examples of where you'll run into this error:
+

+struct Foo { x: &bool }        // error
+struct Foo<'a> { x: &'a bool } // correct

+
+Lifetime elision is a special, limited kind of inference for lifetimes in
+function signatures which allows you to leave out lifetimes in certain cases.
+For more background on lifetime elision see [the book][book-le].
+
+The lifetime elision rules require that any function signature with an elided
+output lifetime must either have
+
+ - exactly one input lifetime
+ - or, multiple input lifetimes, but the function must also be a method with a
+   `&self` or `&mut self` receiver
+
+In the first case, the output lifetime is inferred to be the same as the unique
+input lifetime. In the second case, the lifetime is instead inferred to be the
+same as the lifetime on `&self` or `&mut self`.
+
+Here are some examples of elision errors:
+
+```
+// error, no input lifetimes
+fn foo() -> &str { ... }
+
+// error, `x` and `y` have distinct lifetimes inferred
+fn bar(x: &str, y: &str) -> &str { ... }
