 === 'match' workflow ===
-In general, ''Option<T>'' is used when you want code that will handle each variant. The ''match'' expression is a control flow construct that does just this when used with enums: it will run different code depending on which variant of the enum it has, and that code can use the data inside the matching value.
+In general, we use an ''Option<T>'' when we want to handle all the cases. The ''match'' expression is a control flow construct that does just this when used with enums: it will run different code depending on which variant of the enum it has, and that code can use the data inside the matching value.
 Combining ''match'' and ''enum'' is useful in many situations: ''match'' against an ''enum'', bind a variable to the data inside, and then execute code based on it.

 If the trait had a default behavior, this implementation will override it.
+Default implementations can also call other methods in the same trait, even if those other methods don't have a default implementation.
+=== Traits as Parameters ===
+Traits can be used to define functions that accept many different types who all implement a certain trait. The function is defined using that trait as a parameter, instead of concrete types. [[https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch10-02-traits.html#traits-as-parameters|Check here]] for more info.
+=== Blanket implementations ===
+They are extensively used in the Rust Standard librarby and allow implementing a trait for any type that implements another trait. [[https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch10-02-traits.html#using-trait-bounds-to-conditionally-implement-methods|More info]]
