Research direction

Start with the linked StackOverflow answer and the TypeCk ReadMe at src/librustc_typeck/check/method#method-lookup. Use these references to determine the complete method-resolution rules that belong in the Rust Reference. Done means the Reference documents the full rule set accurately and links or examples make the behavior understandable.
