Any type parameter or lifetime parameter of an `impl` must meet at least one of
the following criteria:

- it appears in the self type of the impl
- for a trait impl, it appears in the trait reference
- it is bound as an associated type
- it appears in the _implementing type_ of the impl, e.g. `impl<T> Foo<T>`
- for a trait impl, it appears in the _implemented trait_, e.g.
`impl<T> SomeTrait<T> for Foo`
- it is bound as an associated type, e.g. `impl<T, U> SomeTrait for T
where T: AnotherTrait<AssocType=U>`

The problem is that the parameter `T` does not appear in the self type (`Foo`)
of the impl. In this case, we can fix the error by moving the type parameter
from the `impl` to the method `get`:
