This error indicates a violation of one of Rust's orphan rules for trait
implementations. The rule concerns the use of type parameters in an
implementation of a foreign trait (a trait defined in another crate), and
states that type parameters must be "covered" by a local type. To understand
what this means, it is perhaps easiest to consider a few examples.
states that type parameters must be "covered" by a local type.

When implementing a foreign trait for a foreign type,
the trait must have one or more type parameters.
A type local to your crate must appear before any use of any type parameters.

To understand what this means, it is perhaps easier to consider a few examples.

If `ForeignTrait` is a trait defined in some external crate `foo`, then the
following trait `impl` is an error:

where `P1, ..., Pm` are the type parameters of the `impl` and `T0, ..., Tn`

orphan rule, see the explanation for E0117). Let `i` be the smallest integer

Both of the following must be true:
1. At least one of the types `T0..=Tn` must be a local type.
Let `Ti` be the first such type.
2. No uncovered type parameters `P1..=Pm` may appear in `T0..Ti`
(excluding `Ti`).
