All kinds of error::Error<Kind> now implement the Display trait, and the Display for the Error<Kind> itself is inherited from its Kind.

The binding between the kind and Display is not necessary though.

In this commit I dropped the restriction of error kinds by Display, and only implemented the trait for errors with displayable kinds. As a result, the developer got 2 options:

  • either to implement the Display for the kind (preferred),
  • or implement it for the error only (but not for the kind) (edge case).
