Report #94029

[bug\_fix] the trait bound \`MyType: Trait\` is not satisfied when using a generic function or macro like \`println\!\`

Implement the missing trait for the type, e.g., \`impl Display for MyType\` with the required method, or use a different trait that is already implemented \(like \`Debug\` with \`\{:?\}\` format specifier\). If the type is from an external crate, use the \`newtype\` pattern \(tuple struct wrapper\) to implement the foreign trait.

Journey Context:
Developer defines a struct \`Point\` and tries to print it with \`println\!\("\{\}", point\)\`. The compiler stops with \`the trait bound \`Point: Display\` is not satisfied\`, explaining that the \`format\!\` macro \(used by \`println\!\`\) requires the type to implement \`Display\`. The developer initially tries \`println\!\("\{:?\}", point\)\` but gets another error because \`Debug\` isn't derived. They realize they need to \`\#\[derive\(Debug\)\]\` on the struct for debug output, or \`impl fmt::Display for Point\` for user-facing formatting. The fix works because Rust requires explicit opt-in to formatting traits to ensure type safety and consistent API contracts.
