`display` broken for parametric structs with `show` referencing the struct parameters

[jlbosse]

Affects: JuliaCall

Describe the bug display is broken for parametric structs whose Base.show references the type parameter. See the following three examples:

In a ipython REPL (or jupyter notebook) with juliacall installed do the following:

from juliacall import Main as jl

code = """
struct Struct1{T}
    x::T
end

function Base.show(io::IO, ::MIME"text/plain", t::Struct1{T}) where T
    print(io, t.x)
end

struct Struct2{T<:Number}
    x::T
end

function Base.show(io::IO, ::MIME"text/plain", t::Struct2)
    print(io, t.x)
end

struct Struct3{T<:Number}
    x::T
end

function Base.show(io::IO, ::MIME"text/plain", t::Struct3{T}) where T
    print(io, t.x)
end
"""

jl.seval(code)

a = jl.Struct1(5)
display(a) # works fine and prints '5'

a = jl.Struct2(5)
display(a) # works fine and prints '5'

a = jl.Struct3(5)
display(a) # throws a JuliaError

Thanks, here's a reproducer for the underlying issue

julia> using PythonCall

julia> struct Struct3{T<:Number}
           x::T
       end

julia> function Base.show(io::IO, ::MIME"text/plain", t::Struct3{T}) where T
           print(io, t.x)
       end

julia> PythonCall.Utils.mimes_for(Struct3(5))
