std::error::Error is not implemented for std::sync::mpsc::RecvTimeoutError

[twittner]

It seems that std::sync::mpsc::RecvTimeoutError is missing impls for std::fmt::Display and std::error::Error. Related error types such as std::sync::mpsc::TryRecvError implement both.

I tried this code:

use std::error::Error;
use std::sync::mpsc;
use std::time::Duration;

fn f(r: mpsc::Receiver<()>) -> Result<(), Box<Error>> {
    let _ = r.recv_timeout(Duration::from_secs(3))?;
    Ok(())
}

fn main() {
    let (_, rx) = mpsc::channel();
    let _ = f(rx);
}

I expected to see this happen: compilation succeeds

Instead, this happened:

rustc 1.14.0-nightly (3f4408347 2016-10-27)
error[E0277]: the trait bound `std::sync::mpsc::RecvTimeoutError: std::error::Error` is not satisfied
