It saves us from having to parse std::env::args manually, though at the
cost of mandating that --all/--manifest-path come before any other
arguments. Will make adding additional clippy-specific args easier - see #2518
With this PR, the help message will now be:
I've manually tested that the four specific options get recognised correctly, and that the additional args get passed through to
cargo rustc
.However, we can no longer provide flags that clippy knows nothing about directly -
cargo clippy --frozen
would now need to be supplied ascargo clippy -- --frozen
. This seems to be a limitation of clap, though I don't know if it's going to be deal-breaking for this PR.
