Looking around the docs in the source, I do see the term bounds being used a few times to refer to constraints on types, so maybe this is a widely accepted term I'm unfamiliar with? At the very least, I think it would be helpful to elaborate/clarify this somewhere in the Traits chapter of the book. |

The term used for this is bounds, constraints is rarely used. We could, however, explain what it means somewhere. Or add it to the reference. @steveklabnik thoughts? |
|
"Bounds" is the more specific term that people use, yes. Maybe adding it to the Glossary would make sense? |
|
👍 |
|
That sounds reasonable to me. I had a suspicion it might be the correct term, but I wasn't sure. Shall I update this PR to add it to the glossary instead? |
|
Yes! 😄 |
|
I've updated this PR to instead add bounds to the glossary. I've also tried to make traits.md a bit more consistent at using bounds as the preferred terminology, as constraint was previously used more commonly in that chapter. |

…=Manishearth It's possible that there is some meaning I'm not grasping from the headers "Traits bounds for generic functions" and "Traits bounds for generic structs", but they seem to me like they could be clearer and more grammatically correct.
