@eddyb I'm surprised; can't we catch the error here during parsing, rather than taking this (IMO strange) workaround? Is the parser not set up to do so? Or am I not thinking about this the right way? |

@pnkfelix The parser errors but it uses the keyword as an identifier and continues compilation. |
|
@eddyb Hmm, I see. Okay. Its still pretty bizarre but I guess I don't have any solid objection. |

Don't let a type parameter named "Self" unchanged past HIR lowering. Fixes #36638 by rewriting `Self` type parameters (which are a parse error) to a `gensym("Self")`. Background: #35605 introduced code across rustc that determines `Self` by its keyword name. Reverting the sanity checks around that would inadvertently cause confusion between the true `Self` of a `trait` and other type parameters named `Self` (which have caused parse errors already). I do not like to use `gensym`, and we may do something different here in the future, but this should work.
