Eliding lifetimes when possible instead of specifying them directly is
both shorter and easier to read. Clippy notes this in the
`needless_lifetimes` lint:

    error: the following explicit lifetimes could be elided: 'b

        |

Remove the explicit lifetime annotation in favour of an elided lifetime.
