Description
Currently trying to wrap rustup in general purpose wrappers for specific environments is painful because of inconsistencies between different subcommands. For example when writing CircleCI commands that take in a toolchain parameter each of rustup component, rustup run and rustup update need a different way to specify the toolchain to interact with. Having a set of standardised flags like --toolchain that are understood by all commands would be useful.

Research direction
Compare the command interfaces for rustup component, rustup run, and rustup update, starting with the linked CircleCI command examples. Determine the consistent toolchain flag behavior and scope across these commands; done means scripting wrappers can pass the same toolchain parameter to each command.
