This is a breaking change. And this should also reveal why the WalkDir type requires 'static: so that it isn't itself generic.
This also strikes me as a very odd use of lifetimes and I don't know what kinds of implications it will have on downstream APIs.

Heh, well most use of lifetimes feels strange to me still... I was hoping in the process of implementing the change and getting your input I'd come to understand whether/how the implications were problematic, if they didn't happen to be trivially close to something workable.
