Trying to get the lifetimes correct for iced::run(...)
I have a Message enum:

#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
enum Message<'a> {
    NewRolodex,
    CategoriesPressed,
    DelCategoryPressed(CategoryType, &'a str),
}

If I leave out the <'a> on the definition and the &str, the compiler tells me I need a named lifetime on them.
If I put in the named lifetime, the compiler tells me that the signature of iced::run isn't correct.

I presume that the problem is at least in part the signatures on my update and wview declarations, so I am including those here as well:

fn update<'a>(rolo: &'a mut RoloGuiState<'a>, message: Message<'a>) { ... }

fn view<'a>(rolo: &'a RoloGuiState<'a>) -> Element<'a, Message<'a>> { ... }

The RoloGuiState itself is:

struct RoloGuiState<'a> {
    rolodex: Option<Rc<RolodexBase<'a>>>,
    right_state: RoloRightGuiState<'a>,
}

and I have defined Default and Clone traits for that. The lifetime marks on that were added because in an earlier stage the compiler told me I needed them. I may have misunderstood the error.

Thank you,
Joel
