Nit: strictly speaking, the `lifetimebound` annotation is not a type annotation, so referring to the "annotated type" is not correct. 

I think we could use terminology like "the type of the annotated parameter" or "the type of the annotated implicit object parameter" depending on the kind of annotation instead.
