Description
See discussion here: https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/11549
Key points:
- The only common use of
-wappears to be for--watchor--workspace, depending on the tool. Bias appears to be towards watch. - Cargo might adopt a watch-like feature: https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/9339
- There's a precedent within cargo for
-w==--workspace: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/commands/cargo-update.html
Thus, we're blocked on https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/9339

Research direction
Read the discussion in cargo/pull/11549 and the linked cargo/issues/9339 first, since this request is explicitly blocked on the watch-feature decision. The work is done only once that decision establishes whether -w can be assigned to --workspace and the required command behavior is agreed.
