  Is there any way around it?

  I experienced similar headaches without async code. I always need helper functions to let me open a file and work with the contents. It seems like I always need new variants depending on what operations I'll do inside 'f', e.g: pub fn with_vec_align<A,V>(file_name: &str, f: &dyn Fn(&[V]) -> A) -> A pub fn with_vec_align_mut<A,V>(file_name: &str, f: &mut dyn FnMut(&[V]) -> A) -> A pub fn with_vec<A>(file_name: &str, f: &dyn Fn(&[u8]) -> A) -> A fn with_vec_mut<A>(file_name: &str, f: &mut dyn FnMut(&[u8]) -> A) -> A pub fn with_mut_vec<A, V>(file_name: &str, f: &dyn Fn(&mut [V]) -> A) -> A It's the kind of thing I'd hope polymorphism would solve (maybe it already does but I just don't know how to leverage it).
