The extractors keep one receiver level, so chain links arrive as bare names.
Read at the call site:
- bare (no `.` / `::` before it): never a method — Rust reaches one only
through `self.` / `Type::`, Go through a receiver (axum's routing
`get(handler)` went to a cookie jar's `get`, tokio's `drop(x)` to `Drop`
impls, #1861's pinned `reset()` → `Target::reset` is now the free fn);
- chained (after `.`, receiver read back through arguments, macros `name!`,
`::` paths and Go composite literals): never a free function, and a
standard-library method name (Option/Result/iterator/collection/string
methods; Go's String/Error/Header/locks/reflect/time) needs a receiver
named after its owner — project-specific names keep their match (clap's
`flag("n").short('n')` → Arg::short, cobra's `c.Root().Name()`, gin's
`c.Set(…)`).
The same std gate applies to the method-call matcher's unique-name guess.
A/B (edges removed / added): clap -1496/+93, tokio -1064/+235, axum
-695/+42, ripgrep -477/+32, cobra -167, serde -119/+1, bat -40/+4, gin
-32/+26.
