58       +toolchain
59           If Cargo has been installed with rustup, and the first argument to
60           cargo begins with +, it will be interpreted as a rustup toolchain
61           name (such as +stable or +nightly). See the rustup documentation
62           <https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/overrides.html> for more
63           information about how toolchain overrides work.
