This error means that an incorrect number of generic arguments were provided:
An incorrect number of generic arguments were provided.

Erroneous code example:

When using/declaring an item with generic arguments, you must provide the exact
same number:

```
struct Foo<T> { x: T }
struct Bar<T> { x: Foo<T> } // ok!
struct Baz<S, T> { x: Foo<S>, y: Foo<T> } // ok!
fn foo<T, U>(x: T, y: U) {}
fn f() {}
fn main() {
f::<'static>(); // error: wrong number of lifetime arguments:
// expected 0, found 1
let x: bool = true;
foo::<bool, u32>(x, 12); // ok!
f(); // ok!
}
