Description

I noticed that rust-analyzer handles cfg(rust_analyzer). Can we explain this in the documentation?

If possible, should we add it to the cargo? https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/16310

Start by locating the docs book section that explains conditional compilation and review how it should describe cfg(rust_analyzer). Check the linked Cargo issue before deciding whether Cargo documentation is in scope; done means the rust-analyzer behavior and any Cargo status are clearly documented.
