+Or in a generic context, an erroneous code example would look like:

+
+Note that the error here is in the definition of the generic function: Although
+we only call it with a parameter that does implement `Debug`, the compiler
+still rejects the function: It must work with all possible input types. In
+order to make this example compile, we need to restrict the generic type we're
+accepting:
+```
+use std::fmt;
+
+// Restrict the input type to types that implement Debug.
+fn some_func<T: fmt::Debug>(foo: T) {

+
+    // This would fail to compile now:

+    // some_func(WithoutDebug);
+}
+
+Rust only looks at the signature of the called function, as such it must
+already specify all requirements that will be used for every type parameter.
