But I don't see why it would necessarily have to work any differently from the way it does now. If you use dot syntax, it would try to do type-based name resolution (i.e. use the method in scope whose self-type matches), autoborrowing, autoreferencing, and whatever else it currently does to try to get an unambiguous match. If that fails, *then* you would have the option of tweaking your imports, `use`ing the method under a different name, or switching to function syntax and adding an explicit module qualifier (along with explicit borrowing and whatever). -- Your ship was destroyed in a monadic eruption.
