Invoke explicitly implemented static interface method

Some native types have explicitly implemented methods from e.g. IParsable<TSelf> on them, how can I call these? For example, static char ISpanParsable<char>.Parse(ReadOnlySpan<char> s, IFormatProvider? provider) => ... in char: https://source.dot.net/#System.Private.CoreLib/src/libraries/System.Private.CoreLib/src/System/Char.cs,1948

i believe this is only possible through a generic parameter

T Parse<T>(ReadOnlySpan<char> s, IFormatProvider? provider)
    where T : ISpanParsable<T>
{
    return T.Parse(s, provider);
}

T Parse<T>(ReadOnlySpan<char> s, IFormatProvider? provider)
    where T : ISpanParsable<T>
{
    return T.Parse(s, provider);
}

ill try it out looks like you are right, thanks.
