I stumbled over

    use jiff::{Timestamp, ToSpan};

    fn main() -> Result<(), jiff::Error> {
        let time: Timestamp = "2024-07-11T01:14:00Z".parse()?;

I seem to remember Rust does that thing with interfaces instead of classes, is it that? How come I import a library and all of a sudden strings have a `parse()` method that despite its generic name results in a `Timestamp` object? or is it the left-hand side that determines which meaning `str.parse()` should have? What if I have two libraries, one for dates and one for say, Lisp expressions that both augment strings with a `parse()` method? Why use this syntax at all, why not, say, `Timestamp.parse( str )`? I have so many questions.
