<aside> 💡 Note: to understand what is a blanket implementation

Image you have a different team that has ability to Play

Instead of Adding Another Ability on Each Team We simply Add the Trait to the Play Ability , hope it makes sense

In Rust, a blanket implementation is a powerful feature that allows you to implement a trait for any type that satisfies certain conditions. This is done using generic parameters and, often, where clauses to specify those conditions. Here’s why blanket implementations are useful:

• Widespread Applicability: They allow you to provide a default implementation of a trait for a wide range of types without having to implement the trait for each type individually
• Reduced Redundancy: By using blanket implementations, you can avoid repeating code for different types that share similar functionality, thus reducing boilerplate
• Trait Extensions: They enable you to extend the functionality of existing types by implementing new traits for them. For example, Rust’s standard library provides a blanket implementation of the From trait for all types, allowing for easy type conversion

Here’s an example of a blanket implementation in Rust:

// A trait with a method
trait MyTrait {
    fn do_something(&self);
}

// A blanket implementation for any type that implements `Debug`
impl<T: std::fmt::Debug> MyTrait for T {
    fn do_something(&self) {
        println!("{:?}", self);
    }
}

In this example, any type that implements std::fmt::Debug will automatically have MyTrait implemented as well, and thus, have the do_something method available.

Blanket implementations are documented separately in Rust documentation because they apply to types broadly and may not be relevant to every specific type you’re looking at. They are a testament to Rust’s flexibility and power in generic programming1.
