Description
Given the following code: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=895f7d2db9412f8cb60bcdd2fa05105d
trait Cat {
fn nya() {}
}
fn uwu<T: Cat>(c: T) {
c.nya();
}The current output is:

The error already explains the problem ("this is an associated function, not a method") and the suggestion to use a fully qualified call doesn't help. Optionally, it could even suggest calling T::nya() instead.
