I have a written a bit of rust by now, but one problem I always seem to encounter it that the features a create supports never seem to be documented. Neither what features are available, what they each do or which are default. Is that really the case, or am I missing something?

I constantly seem to include something from the docs, only to be told by the compiler that it does not exist, and then I have to open the source for the create to figure out if it’s hidden behind a feature flag.

Also, is it really true that I can’t disable a single feature from the default set, without having to copy the default list and manually removing it?

    Didn’t know about this, looking forward for this to be stabilized. But a comment on your command, it is easier to use --all-features instead of listing them all.

      --all-features doesn’t work with that particular crate because two of the features conflict with each other. The features list in my command is the one used for docs.rs from the crate’s Cargo.toml.
