An incoherent Rust

The Rust language's coherence and orphan rules cause problems in the ecosystem evolution, making it difficult for new crates to replace existing ones and for alternatives to foundational crates to be made and propagated. Removing coherence altogether and introducing a new syntax to specify which trait impl is used for satisfying a trait bound could allow for overlapping trait impls and solve ...
