This error occurs when there was a recursive trait requirement that overflowed
before it could be evaluated. Often this means that there is unbounded
recursion in resolving some type bounds.
An evaluation of a trait requirement overflowed.

For example, in the following code:

recursion in resolving some type bounds.

To determine if a `T` is `Foo`, we need to check if `Bar<T>` is `Foo`. However,
to do this check, we need to determine that `Bar<Bar<T>>` is `Foo`. To
determine this, we check if `Bar<Bar<Bar<T>>>` is `Foo`, and so on. This is
