Declaring `T` as conforming to the `Printable` trait (as we earlier
did with `Clone`) makes it possible to call methods from that trait
on values of type `T` inside the function. It will also cause a
compile-time error when anyone tries to call `print_all` on an array
compile-time error when anyone tries to call `print_all` on a vector
whose element type does not have a `Printable` implementation.
Type parameters can have multiple bounds by separating them with `+`,

You can call that on a vector of circles, or a vector of rectangles
(assuming those have suitable `Drawable` traits defined), but not on
an array containing both circles and rectangles. When such behavior is
a vector containing both circles and rectangles. When such behavior is
needed, a trait name can alternately be used as a type, called
an _object_.
