is the set of all methods with receiver <code>*T</code> or <code>T</code>
(that is, it also contains the method set of <code>T</code>).
Any other type has an empty method set.
-In a method set, each method must have a unique name.

A method is a function with a <i>receiver</i>.
-A method declaration binds an identifier to a method.
+A method declaration binds an identifier, the <i>method name</i>, to a method.
+It also associates the method with the receiver's <i>base type</i>.

<p>
The receiver type must be of the form <code>T</code> or <code>*T</code> where
-<code>T</code> is a type name. <code>T</code> is called the
-<i>receiver base type</i> or just <i>base type</i>.
-The base type must not be a pointer or interface type and must be
-declared in the same package as the method.
-The method is said to be <i>bound</i> to the base type
-and is visible only within selectors for that type
-(§<a href="#Type_declarations">Type declarations</a>, §<a href="#Selectors">Selectors</a>).
+<code>T</code> is a type name. The type denoted by <code>T</code> is called
+the receiver <i>base type</i>; it must not be a pointer or interface type and
+it must be declared in the same package as the method.
+The method is said to be <i>bound</i> to the base type and the method name
+is visible only within selectors for that type.

+<p>
+For a base type, the non-<a href="#Blank_identifier">blank</a> names of
+methods bound to it must be unique.
+If the base type is a <a href="#Struct_types">struct type</a>,
+the non-blank method and field names must be distinct.
