 Indeed, `map` is [defined as a method][2] on `Option<T>` in the standard library.
+As a method, it has a slighly different signature: methods take `self`, `&self`,
+or `&mut self` as their first argument.
 
 Armed with our new combinator, we can rewrite our `extension_explicit` method
 to get rid of the case analysis:

+Like with `map` above, the standard library implementation is a method instead

 The trick here is that the default value must have the same type as the value
 that might be inside the `Option<T>`. Using it is dead simple in our case:
