Understand it, then run it

Go 1.27 adds a new feature called *generic methods*. Before this release, a type could only have methods that accepted a fixed set of parameter types. Now a method can be written once and used with any integer type. The change is shown in the math/rand/v2 package, where the Rand type gets a method N that works for int, int32, int64, and any other integer type.
