Point at non-const trait impl when encountering unmet [const] bound

estebank · estebank · commit 528137f97240 · 2025-11-02T20:12:26.000Z
When encountering an unmet `Ty: [const] Trait` bound, if `Trait` is `#[const_trait]` and there's an `impl Trait for Ty` point at it. If local, suggest `impl const Trait for Ty`, otherwise just point at it.

```
