This syntax allows methods in the bridge block to be grouped together by type and use implicitly typed receivers (e.g. `&self`, `&mut self`, or `self`) even when multiple types are declared in the same bridge.
Support binding to static methods (C++) and associated methods (Rust) by using `impl` blocks to indicate which type it belongs to.

See rust-lang/rust#102376 for the companion PR to rustc to make this possible. |

Note that there are discussions around possible static methods API here #447, although it's not clear if there was a preferred API. |

Adds support for using
externimplblocks to describe methods and static/associated functions on a type.Requires a companion patch to
rustc, so this may take some time to be able to land.
