Description

Triggering rust-analyzer: Run when the cursor is in fn main in an example adds the example to the list of items, but only when the cursor is in the main function. When making changes in another function in an example file, it would be convenient to be able to trigger the run command from anywhere in the file, not just in the main function.

Research direction

Start by tracing the rust-analyzer Run command from its handling of the cursor in an example's fn main and determine why other functions are excluded. Verify the behavior by triggering rust-analyzer: Run with the cursor in a non-main function, and consider the work complete when it runs the containing example from anywhere in the example file.
