Explain trait objects and dynamic dispatch in Rust.
Detailed Explanation
Trait objects and dynamic dispatch: Runtime polymorphism in Rust using dyn Trait syntax, virtual function table (vtable), fat pointers (data + vtable). Object safety requirements: No Self parameters except receiver, no generic type parameters, no associated functions. Example: Vec> allows different types implementing Draw trait to be stored together with runtime dispatch.
