The following code fails to compile (playground):

#![feature(existential_type)]

trait Bar {
    type A;
}

impl Bar for () {
    type A = ();
}

trait Foo {
    type A;
    type B: Bar<A = Self::A>;
    
    fn foo() -> Self::B;
}

impl Foo for () {
    type A = ();
    existential type B: Bar<A = Self::A>;
    
    fn foo() -> Self::B {
        ()
    }
}

with the following error

error[E0271]: type mismatch resolving `<() as Bar>::A == <() as Foo>::A`
  --> src/lib.rs:20:5
   |
20 |     existential type B: Bar<A = Self::A>;
   |     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected (), found associated type
   |
   = note: expected type `()`
              found type `<() as Foo>::A`
   = note: the return type of a function must have a statically known size

If you make this modification, it compiles fine:

-    existential type B: Bar<A = Self::A>;
+    existential type B: Bar<A = ()>;

I think maybe cc @petrochenkov or @nikomatsakis ?

I wonder whether this is a dupe of #53984 ?
