Tried to see if "expected this type parameter" can be replaced, but that goes all the way to rustc_infer so seems not worth the effort and can affect other diagnostics.

Revives #112088 and #104755.

Suggested change

"the caller chooses the type of {} which can be different from {}",

"the caller chooses a type for `{}` which can be different from `{}`",

Backticks & “type for” over “type of”. The former is more precise semantically: T stands for a type and can't be of a type, it's a type itself. Cf. the statement i32 is the type of 0i32.

Make sense, changed the wording to this.

You still need to bless the other tests/ui tests :)

(I think these are literally the only two tests that test this diagnostic)

Actually I wonder if we should add this note in more cases, not just in cases where we suggest RPITs. For example here:

fn f<T>() -> (T,) { (0,) }

wait how do u undo a r= lol (if you want me to add it in more places in this PR)

Okay, let's do this!

Changes since last review:

I forgor rustc_hir_typeck already uses translatable diagnostics, so made the note into a subdiagnostic instead.
Added the note for cases like fn f<T>() -> (T,) { (0,) } as well.

Ah, this one is interesting. The note is technically speaking correct but I don't know if it helps the user. Remember that we add the note “the caller chooses …” because the user might not understand that fn f<T>() -> T doesn't mean “can return anything the callee / the author of the function wants to return”. What do you think? Do you think it's useful?

This note doesn't seem very helpful in this instance, no. This particular case probably needs a separate note suggesting that X might not satisfy X: Sized but Self: Sized or something to that effect. Not entirely sure what help to give here though.

Let's not block this PR on this (given the long history of this diagnostic change with several failed PRs), we should probably not emit the note if the param is kw::SelfUpper but that can be done in a follow up.

Sorry for the delay, I was sitting at my desk wondering why we're not suggesting impl-Trait on fn f<T>() -> (T,) { (0,) } etc. (so, fn f() -> (impl Sized,) { (0,) } which works perfectly). I should probably open an issue for that. If we end up making try_suggest_return_impl_trait smarter at some point we can then probably also move the note back into impl-Trait since it does some other checks, too, which we don't do for note_caller_chooses_ty_for_ty_param.

suggesting that X might not satisfy X: Sized but Self: Sized or something to that effect

Nah, that's not relevant here. The Sized bounds only exist to allow the method to return self.
