Before this PR, blanket implementations without constraints, such as
impl<T> From<T> for T, were ignored, because they would give rise to too many calls with multiple call targets.This PR changes that, and avoids multiple targets by only allowing blanket targets when no compatible non-blanket targets exist (we already had this check in place for method calls).
