Description
The playground is often used for experimenting with features and/or creating minimal repros for feature requests and bugs. It would be great if we could make full use of the compiler by also being able to specify arbitrary flags.
My personal motivation is -Zunleash-the-miri-inside-of-you, which takes the brakes off the const evaluator and allows demonstrating why we are doing some things the way we are (because other ways are unsound or incoherent or ...).

Research direction
The issue names the Rust Playground and rustc flags but no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how the Playground invokes rustc and how compiler options are exposed, then define how arbitrary flags should be supplied and constrained; done means a user can pass custom flags when compiling a Playground example.
