In today's Rust, you can write function signatures like:
````rust,ignore
fn consume_iter_static<I: Iterator<u8>>(iter: I) { }
fn consume_iter_static<I: Iterator<Item=u8>>(iter: I) { }
fn consume_iter_dynamic(iter: Box<Iterator<u8>>) { }
fn consume_iter_dynamic(iter: Box<Iterator<Item=u8>>) { }
````
In both cases, the function does not depend on the exact type of the argument.

On the other hand, while you can write:
````rust,ignore
fn produce_iter_dynamic() -> Box<Iterator<u8>> { }
fn produce_iter_dynamic() -> Box<Iterator<Item=u8>> { }
````
...but you _cannot_ write something like:
````rust,ignore
fn produce_iter_static() -> Iterator<u8> { }
fn produce_iter_static() -> Iterator<Item=u8> { }
````
That is, in today's Rust, abstract return types can only be written using trait
