rust-script vs cargo-script stabilization (re: rust 2024)

Very helpful looking library. A question:
Stabilization of cargo-script is one of main 2024 goals for the Rust Project

And we can currently run scripts using just cargo on nightly with

cargo +nightly -Zscript <file.rs> <args/flags>

How much of your library is specific to rust-script (the crate) vs rust scripting like activities?

I looked through your api quickly, but I'm not sure what specifics are involved in the rust-script approach. And therefore what issues might come up with missing or conflicting types and assumptions about script-file location vs compile location vs run location, etc.

I'm inclined to just use nightly for my rust scripting and move along in that direction. But if libraries like this are meant to interoperate that would be wonderful.

There is nothing specific to rust-script with rust-script-ext, it can be like any other dependency.

To support cargo-script, I'll need to take a look at how they support dependencies, rust-script has a very solid story, but cargo-script might also offer something similar. If it does, I can update the README and provide a template for use with cargo-script.

Awesome. That'd be wonderful, thx.

@ethanmsl I've added some documentation on how to use it with cargo script. You just need to specify the dependencies slightly differently. I've added a template to help get started.
