+// This is an interesting test case. We have a trait (Bar) that is
+// implemented for a `Box<Foo>` object (note: no bounds). And then we
+// have a `Box<Foo:Send>` object. The impl for `Box<Foo>` is applicable
+// to `Box<Foo:Send>` because:
+//
+// 1. The trait Bar is contravariant w/r/t Self because `Self` appears
+//    only in argument position.
+// 2. The impl provides `Bar for Box<Foo>`
+// 3. The fn `wants_bar()` requires `Bar for Box<Foo:Send>`.
+// 4. `Bar for Box<Foo> <: Bar for Box<Foo:Send>` because
+//    `Box<Foo:Send> <: Box<Foo>`.
