+% Universal Function Call Syntax
+
+<small>There is a new edition of the book and this is an old link.</small>
+
+> Rust cannot prevent a trait from having a method with the same name as another trait’s method, nor can it prevent us from implementing both of these traits on one type.
+> In order to be able to call each of the methods with the same name, then, we need to tell Rust which one we want to use.
+
+```rust
+trait Pilot {
+ fn fly(&self);
+}
+
+trait Wizard {
+ fn fly(&self);
+}
+
+struct Human;
+
+impl Pilot for Human {
+# fn fly(&self) {
+# println!("This is your captain speaking.");
+# }
+}
+
+impl Wizard for Human {
+# fn fly(&self) {
+# println!("Up!");
+# }
+}
+
+impl Human {
+# fn fly(&self) {
+# println!("*waving arms furiously*");
+# }
+}
+
+fn main() {
+ let person = Human;
+ Pilot::fly(&person);
+ Wizard::fly(&person);
+ person.fly();
+}
+```
