gen has become a keyword in Rust 2024; code produced by fauxgen's macro uses 'gen as a lifetime name, which leads to breakage in Rust 2024 use-sites. So, rename to something else - suffixing with an underscore suffices and, while a little ugly, using these lifetimes is likely to be the rare case anyway. This is a breaking change (as shown by tests/nested.rs needing adaptation). Keeping the name as-is and instead using raw identifier syntax (new in Rust 2021) was an option, but introduces complications of its own: one, AIUI it would break usage in earlier editions and so still be a breaking change; two, the tests break and I'm not sure why (trybuild not using the right edition?); three, the syntax is ugly and uglier than a trailing underscore - long-term, the latter's the way to go. I wasn't able to work out how best to test this (specifically, how to get trybuild to use a specific edition).
