`cargo --list` shows blank explanation for the `miri` command on windows

[yg-i]

Problem

On my machine (win10, x86-64) this is the (truncated) output of cargo --list

Installed Commands:
...
    logout               Remove an API token from the registry locally
    metadata             Output the resolved dependencies of a package, the concrete used versions including overrides, in machine-readable format
    miri
    new                  Create a new cargo package at <path>
    owner                Manage the owners of a crate on the registry
...

The table row for 'miri' contains no brief explanation like the other lines. I'm assuming this is not intended.

Perhaps this is related to the fact that cargo-miri is not available for the windows-msvc toolchain.

Steps

1. In a Windows environment, run cargo --list
2. Verify that the row for 'miri' contains no corresponding explanations like the other rows.

Thanks for the report. This is a known issue tracked in #10662. I'll close this in favor of that. Let us know if this should remain open for any reason.

iirc cargo miri is distributed through rustup. So we should decide whether to bake-in the description like cargo fmt and cargo clippy or put this as a dividing line and say we need a more general solution. Re-opening for now for us to weigh that.

I've considered that and decided to close because miri is not shipped with the stable toolchain.
