I think I really need to see an example of what you&#x27;re talking about.<p>&quot;implicit first argument&quot; can be made explicit, we&#x27;ve established that. If the signature is still different that&#x27;s an issue with order of arguments.<p>If you don&#x27;t want it to take self at all, well, it&#x27;s a method, that&#x27;s how methods work, they have a receiver. In all languages.
