For the recently rewritten RFC PR #1147 Target Version, a few denominators could use some bikeshedding:
- Cargo has a package attribute whose name is currently defined as ‘rust’. Alternatives include:
- std (but this may confuse people who use --nostd)
- rust_lang
- target
- rustc needs a command line option, currently named ‘–target-version=1.2.0’. This could be:
- –std
- –source
- –version
I’m sure there are other options I haven’t yet considered. So what do you think?
