This approach teaches
cargo run
to handle also binary targets in dependencies. In turn, it allows using cargo as a shimwhen needing to invoke a specific package version from the set of dependencies, without resorting to install a user-wide
version of a binary.
Users of e.g.
mdbook
should rejoice.Note that this is my first contribution to
cargo
. I am not familiar yet on how is the best way to do things.Also, I haven't adjusted any documentation yet, I wanted first to see if my idea is sound or not.
If approved, fixes #2267.
