"##,

E0575: r##"
Something other than a type or an associated type was given.

Erroneous code example:

```compile_fail,E0575
enum Rick { Morty }

let _: <u8 as Rick>::Morty; // error!

trait Age {
type Empire;
fn Mythology() {}
}

impl Age for u8 {
type Empire = u16;
}

let _: <u8 as Age>::Mythology; // error!
```

In both cases, we're declaring a variable (called `_`) and we're giving it a
type. However, `<u8 as Rick>::Morty` and `<u8 as Age>::Mythology` aren't types,
therefore the compiler throws an error.

`<u8 as Rick>::Morty` is an enum variant, you cannot use a variant as a type,
you have to use the enum directly:

```
enum Rick { Morty }

let _: Rick; // ok!
```

`<u8 as Age>::Mythology` is a trait method, which is definitely not a type.
However, the `Age` trait provides an associated type `Empire` which can be
used as a type:

```
trait Age {
type Empire;
fn Mythology() {}
}

impl Age for u8 {
type Empire = u16;
}

let _: <u8 as Age>::Empire; // ok!
```
