## Description
This PR is part of #5110. It
fixes a problem that improves the usability of slices.
When a method is returned from the "method resolution algorithm", if any
generic is involved, it is returned as its generic form. So for example,
if a method `len` is called on `Vec<u8>`, we return something like `fn
len(self: Vec<T>)`.
Later we monomorphize `T` into `u8`. To do that we run a "pattern match"
to realize that we need to replace `T` with `u8`.
In this case, the bug was that we were not considering that some
primitive types have "implicit type parameters".
This was found whilst creating more tests for
#6933, because I was not able to
call the `len` method defined for slices as:
```sway
impl<T> &[T] {
pub fn len(self) -> u64 {
...
}
}
```
