Report #26864
[bug\_fix] the trait bound \`T: Trait\` is not satisfied
Add the missing trait bound to the generic parameter, e.g., change \`fn foo\(x: T\)\` to \`fn foo\(x: T\)\` or use a where clause \`where T: Display\`, and ensure the concrete type used implements the required trait.
Journey Context:
Developer abstracts a function to accept generic numeric types, using \`.to\_string\(\)\` inside the body. Compiler errors stating \`T\` doesn't implement \`Display\`. Developer initially tries to call \`.to\_string\(\)\` on a reference or wonders if they need \`Into\`. They search the error, learn that generics must explicitly declare trait bounds, and add \`T: std::fmt::Display\` to the function signature. The code compiles, and they later discover they can use \`impl Display\` for simpler cases.
