+When using a lifetime like `'a` in a type, it must be declared before being
+used.
+
+These two examples illustrate the problem:
+
+```
+// error, use of undeclared lifetime name `'a`
+fn foo(x: &'a str) { }
+
+struct Foo {
+    // error, use of undeclared lifetime name `'a`
+    x: &'a str,
+}
+```
+
+These can be fixed by declaring lifetime parameters:
+
+```
+fn foo<'a>(x: &'a str) { }
+
+struct Foo<'a> {
+    x: &'a str,
+}
+```
+"##,
+
+E0262: r##"
+Declaring certain lifetime names in parameters is disallowed. For example,
+because the `'static` lifetime is a special built-in lifetime name denoting
+the lifetime of the entire program, this is an error:
+
+```
+// error, illegal lifetime parameter name `'static`
+fn foo<'static>(x: &'static str) { }
+```
+"##,
+
+E0263: r##"
+A lifetime name cannot be declared more than once in the same scope. For
+example:
+
+```
+// error, lifetime name `'a` declared twice in the same scope
+fn foo<'a, 'b, 'a>(x: &'a str, y: &'b str) { }

 This error indicates that a static or constant references itself.
 All statics and constants need to resolve to a value in an acyclic manner.

 "##,
 
+E0055: r##"
+During a method call, a value is automatically dereferenced as many times as
+needed to make the value's type match the method's receiver. The catch is that
+the compiler will only attempt to dereference a number of times up to the
+recursion limit (which can be set via the `recursion_limit` attribute).
+
+For a somewhat artificial example:
+
+```
+#![recursion_limit="2"]
+
+struct Foo;
+
+impl Foo {
+    fn foo(&self) {}
+}
+
+fn main() {
+    let foo = Foo;
+    let ref_foo = &&Foo;
+
+    // error, reached the recursion limit while auto-dereferencing &&Foo
+    ref_foo.foo();
+}
+```
+
+One fix may be to increase the recursion limit. Note that it is possible to
+create an infinite recursion of dereferencing, in which case the only fix is to
+somehow break the recursion.
