 Every `impl Trait` in the return type of an associated function in a trait is desugared to an anonymous associated type. The return type that appears in the implementation's function signature is used to determine the value of the associated type.
 
-### Differences between generics and `impl Trait` in return position
+## Capturing
+
+Behind each return-position `impl Trait` abstract return type is some hidden concrete type.  For this concrete type to use a generic parameter, that generic parameter must be *captured* by the abstract type.
+
+## Automatic capturing
+
+Return-position `impl Trait` abstract return types automatically capture certain of the in-scope generic parameters.  Everywhere, these automatically capture all in-scope type and const generic parameters.
+
+On items of trait impls and trait definitions, these types additionally automatically capture all in-scope generic lifetime parameters, including higher-ranked ones.  On free functions and on associated functions and methods of inherent impls, only the generic lifetime parameters that appear in the bounds of abstract return type are captured.
+
+## Precise capturing
+
+The set of generic parameters captured by a return-position `impl Trait` abstract type may be explicitly controlled with a [`use<..>` bound].  If present, only the generic parameters listed in the bound will be captured.  E.g.:
+
+```rust
+fn capture<'a, 'b, T>(x: &'a (), y: T) -> impl Sized + use<'a, T> {
+  //                                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+  //                                     Captures `'a` and `T` only.
+  (x, y)
+}
+```
+
+Currently, only one `use<..>` bound may be present in a bounds list, such bounds are not allowed in the signature of items of a trait definition, and all in-scope type and const generic parameters must be included.  If the elided lifetime (`'_`) is otherwise allowed to appear within the `impl Trait` return type, it may be named within the `use<..>` bound.
+
+Because all in-scope type parameters must be included by name, a `use<..>` bound may not be used in the signature of items that use argument-position `impl Trait`, as those items have anonymous type parameters in scope.
+
+## Differences between generics and `impl Trait` in return position
 
 In argument position, `impl Trait` is very similar in semantics to a generic type parameter.
 However, there are significant differences between the two in return position.
