### Executable paths with arguments
Some Cargo commands invoke external programs, which can be configured as a path
and some number of arguments.
The value may be an array of strings like `['/path/to/program', 'somearg']` or
a space-separated string like `'/path/to/program somearg'`. If the path to the
executable contains a space, the list form must be used.
If Cargo is passing other arguments to the program such as a path to open or
run, they will be passed after the last specified argument in the value of an
option of this format. If the specified program does not have path separators,
Cargo will search `PATH` for its executable.
