@ -1501,7 +1501,29 @@ have an implementation for `Shape`. Multiple supertraits are separated by `+`,
`trait Circle : Shape + PartialEq { }`. In an implementation of `Circle` for a
given type `T`, methods can refer to `Shape` methods, since the typechecker
checks that any type with an implementation of `Circle` also has an
implementation of `Shape`.
implementation of `Shape`:
```rust
struct Foo;
trait Shape { fn area(&self) -> f64; }
trait Circle : Shape { fn radius(&self) -> f64; }
# impl Shape for Foo {
# fn area(&self) -> f64 {
# 0.0
# }
# }
impl Circle for Foo {
fn radius(&self) -> f64 {
println!("calling area: {}", self.area());
0.0
}
}
let c = Foo;
c.radius();
```
In type-parameterized functions, methods of the supertrait may be called on
values of subtrait-bound type parameters. Referring to the previous example of
