The lifetime bound `B::Owned: 'a` is redundant and doesn't make a difference, because `Cow<'a, B>` comes with an implicit `B: 'a`, and associated types will outlive lifetimes outlived by the `Self` type (and all the trait's generic parameters, of which there are none in this case), so the implicit `B: 'a` implies `B::Owned: 'a` anyway. The explicit lifetime bound here does however end up in documentation, and that's confusing in my opinion, so let's remove it ^^

If you want it to look the same as the AsRef impl, you can also remove the 'a lifetime:

In terms of how the rendered documentation comes out, I actually prefer the way it looks with the explicit lifetime, since otherwise it still renders as invalid Rust code with the impl<'_> part.

This is a small improvement that doesn't change semantics at all, but helps the generated documentation. @bors r+ rollup |

…thomcc Remove redundant lifetime bound from `impl Borrow for Cow` The lifetime bound `B::Owned: 'a` is redundant and doesn't make a difference, because `Cow<'a, B>` comes with an implicit `B: 'a`, and associated types will outlive lifetimes outlived by the `Self` type (and all the trait's generic parameters, of which there are none in this case), so the implicit `B: 'a` implies `B::Owned: 'a` anyway. The explicit lifetime bound here does however [end up in documentation](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/borrow/enum.Cow.html#impl-Borrow%3CB%3E), and that's confusing in my opinion, so let's remove it ^^ _(Documentation right now, compare to `AsRef`, too:)_
