I mean what sorts of expressions it supports, and how lax are the typing rules of them, basically.

Ok indexing and function calls, makes sense. It won't dispatch on types at all for polymorphic functions I assume.

Right, types aren't involved much. IIRC method dispatch on preexisting monomorphizations work. Gdb will not monomorphize for you.

Trait methods don't work, though you can call them directly as functions if you wish.
