Listing tests
To build and list all tests in a workspace1, cd into the workspace and run:
cargo nextest list
cargo nextest list takes most of the same options that cargo nextest run takes. For a full list of options accepted, see cargo nextest list --help.

Doctests are currently not supported because of limitations in stable Rust. For now, run doctests in a separate step with cargo test --doc.
