Current Package Identifier
Rustlang.Rust.MSVC
Package Version
1.76.0
Please describe the changes you would like to see
Would it be possible to add rustfmt to that package? I installed Rustlang.Rust.MSVC and VSCode kept throwing
[Error - 1:29:25 PM] Request textDocument/formatting failed.
Message: Failed to spawn "rustfmt" "--edition" "2021"
Code: -32603
After uninstalling Rustlang.Rust.MSVC and installing Rustlang.Rustup it worked. But since I use winget, I didn't want another tool to manage packages.

Research direction
Start with the Rustlang.Rust.MSVC package manifest and compare it with Rustlang.Rustup, which provides rustfmt. Verify how the MSVC package is assembled and whether rustfmt can be included; done means the installed package makes rustfmt available to VSCode for Rust formatting.
