Rust traits have the neat property where you can use them either as generic bounds or as dynamic dispatch, with the &dyn MyTrait syntax. The latter is necessary in heterogeneous scenarios, where you want to use multiple concrete types together that all implement a common trait. However, that requires that you have an instance, so that the reference actually “refers” to something. What if you have a trait with “static” requirements, like consts or methods without &self?
