I have this trait:

use std::path::Path;

/// Trait for types with a default file path.
pub trait DefaultFile {
    /// The type of the default file path.
    type DefaultFile: AsRef<Path>;

    /// The default file path.
    const DEFAULT_FILE: Self::DefaultFile;
}

I find this definition and subsequent usage a bit verbose.
However, I could not get anything like this to work:

use std::path::Path;

/// Trait for types with a default file path.
pub trait DefaultFile {
    /// The default file path.
    const DEFAULT_FILE: impl AsRef<Path>;
}

Is there a short-hand for this kind of definition?
