 Also note that impls with the same method name defined in them cannot overlap. For example, if we already have `foo` defined for `Foo<u32>` and `Foo<u64>` like we do above, we cannot also define `foo` in an `impl<T> Foo<T>` since it would be ambiguous which version of `foo` to choose.

 Lambdas are anonymous functions. They follow the syntax of Rust - `|arg1, arg2, ..., argN| return_expression`.
