brackets in `Point` is a generic type rather than a concrete type. We could
have chosen a different name for this generic parameter than the generic
parameter declared in the struct definition, but using the same name is
conventional. Methods written within an `impl` that declares the generic type
will be defined on any instance of the type, no matter what concrete type ends
up substituting for the generic type.
conventional. If you write a method within an `impl` that declares a generic
type, that method will be defined on any instance of the type, no matter what
concrete type ends up substituting for the generic type.

We can also specify constraints on generic types when defining methods on the
type. We could, for example, implement methods only on `Point<f32>` instances
