The man page for
cargo install
is not explicit about what the default behavior is. This is important to clarify becauseexamples/
are typically unneeded and may not be maintained with the same care as "real" binaries, so it should be clear to users that example binaries won't be installed without directly asking for them.Small doc-only update, hopefully this is acceptable. Please let me know if I need to seek further approval first (and, if so, apologies for the noise).
