error: internal compiler error: unexpected panic

note: the compiler unexpectedly panicked. this is a bug.

note: we would appreciate a bug report: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/new?labels=C-bug%2C+I-ICE%2C+T-compiler&template=ice.md

[compiler-errors]

This happens when you try to yield in a function that returns an opaque impl Trait. This shouldn't ICE (even if it is a bug in the code 😉 ).

I've identified a quick fix.
