URL to the section(s) of the book with this problem: https://github.com/rust-lang/book/blob/main/src/ch05-03-method-syntax.md

Description of the problem: The sentence "This function is namespaced by the struct: the :: syntax is used for both associated functions and namespaces created by modules." just above the subsection title "Multiple impl Blocks" has a sort of confusing colon ":".

Suggested fix: wondering if the colon ":" next to "the struct" is just a simple colon that is used to introduce an explanation. Is it better to replace it with a period "." for clarity?
