Report #100986

[bug\_fix] the trait bound \`T: std::fmt::Display\` is not satisfied

Add the required trait bound to the generic parameter, e.g., \`fn print\(item: T\)\` or \`fn print\(item: T\) where T: Display\`.

Journey Context:
You define a generic function that prints its argument using \`\{\}\`. The compiler complains that \`T\` doesn't implement \`Display\`. You assumed generics would automatically work with any type that supports the operations you use, but Rust requires explicit bounds. You add \`T: std::fmt::Display\` to the signature. If the function grows and needs multiple bounds, you switch to a \`where\` clause for readability. You also notice that callers passing custom structs now need to derive or implement \`Display\`, which surfaces a design question about whether to require \`Debug\` instead for internal diagnostics. The code compiles once the bound is added.
