 A _method call_ consists of an expression (the *receiver*) followed by a single
 dot, an [identifier], and a parenthesized expression-list. Method calls are
-resolved to methods on specific traits, either statically dispatching to a
-method if the exact `self`-type of the left-hand-side is known, or dynamically
