 This means that even if someone does something bad like add methods to `i32`,
 it won’t affect you, unless you `use` that trait.
 
-There’s one more restriction on implementing traits: either the trait, or the
-type you’re writing the `impl` for, must be defined by you. So, we could
-implement the `HasArea` type for `i32`, because `HasArea` is in our code. But

 One last thing about traits: generic functions with a trait bound use
 ‘monomorphization’ (mono: one, morph: form), so they are statically dispatched.
 What’s that mean? Check out the chapter on [trait objects][to] for more details.
