Specializing on `'static` seems like a perfectly valid use case. `'static` is not an origin computed by the borrow checker, it's a property of the data itself. No borrow checker upgrade will change whether a string literal or an owned type is `'static`. `T: 'static` is already a bound the solver understands.",
