Description

In https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/hello/print.html

at line 47 there is an example for

// This will not compile because `Structure` does not implement
// fmt::Display.
//println!("This struct `{}` won't print...", Structure(3));
// TODO ^ Try uncommenting this line

if you uncomment the 48th, 49th, or both lines it still throws an error message.
