Fuzzy-match targets/examples

USAGE:
    cargo select [OPTIONS] [ARGS]

ARGS:
    <CARGO_COMMAND>    Cargo command to run with selected target (e.g. "run").
    <PATTERN>          Pattern to fuzzy-match targets with. Omit for interactive mode.
    <CARGO_ARGS>...    Additional arguments to pass to cargo.

OPTIONS:
    -h, --help       Print help information
        --no-skip    Run all tests that match selected test (i.e. dont skip names that are
                     supersets)(tests only)
    -V, --version    Print version information

cargo select run is special-cased to cargo run with --package NAME or --example NAME.

cargo select test is special-cased to match against test names (deduced from source files) and run them with cargo test.
Alternatives:

• You could just do cargo test NAME, but it doesn't let you find tests by name and doesnt work well with workspaces
• You could do a command similar to cargo test -- --list | fzf | sed "s/: .*//" | xargs cargo test -- --exact, but it requires compiling the tests which can take a lot of time and disk space on some projects (especially ones with a few workspaces). And it still has some limitations.
