Report #98702

[bug\_fix] the trait bound \`Vec<...>: std::fmt::Display\` is not satisfied

For printing collections, use \`\{:?\}\` or \`\{:\#?\}\` which requires \`Debug\`, not \`Display\`. Alternatively, iterate and format each element explicitly: \`vec.iter\(\).map\(\|x\| x.to\_string\(\)\).collect::>\(\).join\(", "\)\`. If you need \`Display\` for a custom type, implement \`std::fmt::Display\` for that type, not for \`Vec\`.

Journey Context:
You try \`println\!\("\{\}", my\_vec\)\` expecting a readable list. The compiler stops with E0277 because \`Vec\` does not implement \`Display\`. You first attempt to implement \`Display\` for \`Vec\` and hit the orphan rule: you cannot implement a foreign trait for a foreign type. Then you read the error more carefully and notice the suggestion to use \`\{:?\}\`. You switch to debug formatting and the list prints. For prettier output you iterate with \`join\` or write a wrapper struct on which you can implement \`Display\`.
