+   |               |
+   |               required by this formatting parameter
+   |
+   = help: the trait `std::fmt::Display` is not implemented for `()`
+   = note: in format strings you may be able to use `{:?}` (or {:#?} for pretty-print) instead
+   = note: this error originates in the macro `$crate::format_args_nl` which comes from the expansion of the macro `println` (in Nightly builds, run with -Z macro-backtrace for more info)

+error: aborting due to 1 previous error
