#
# What this teaches:
#   • Declares a behavioral contract with method signatures.
#   • Related keywords: genus, implet
#
# Common mistakes:
#   • Declaring a `genus implet Implendum` without implementing all required methods — every method signature in the implendum must have a body in the genus.
#
