Issue:
Assist: replace anonymous lifetime with a named one
before:

```rust
impl Cursor<'_<|>> {
    fn node(self) -> &SyntaxNode {
        match self {
            Cursor::Replace(node) | Cursor::Before(node) => node,
        }
    }
}
```

after:

```rust
impl<'a> Cursor<'a> {
    fn node(self) -> &SyntaxNode {
        match self {
            Cursor::Replace(node) | Cursor::Before(node) => node,
        }
    }
}
```
