Avoid debug printing error in thiserror.md#3124
Merged
Conversation
One point about Rust error handling is that errors should know how to `Display` print themselves, not just `Debug` print. So the example here and elsewhere should avoid debug printing the error and thus show that we use the format string from `#[error(...)]`.
