and methods. Deref coercion works only on types that implement the `Deref`
trait. Deref coercion converts such a type into a reference to another type.
trait. Deref coercion converts reference to such a type into a reference to another type.
For example, deref coercion can convert `&String` to `&str` because `String`
implements the `Deref` trait such that it returns `&str`. Deref coercion happens
automatically when we pass a reference to a particular type’s value as an
