Configure clippy lints further with the [lints] table.

[jalil-salame]

Problem

Currently I still need a clippy.toml in the latest stable as I cannot pass arguments to clippy lints like disallowed_methods in the [lints] table in the Cargo.toml. There is prior art with the unexpected_cfgs lint as that sets check-cfg = [..args], but I don't see anything similar for clippy lints that also receive arguments.

Proposed Solution

Add an args or similar entry to the [lints.specific-lint] table that allows passing arguments to clippy (or have clippy read from the Cargo.toml for the configured arguments).

Notes

I believe that like rust-lang/cargo#14521 , there is no support for this currently.

We had this as a future possibility in the RFC. As you said, Cargo/Rustc use this for check-cfg.

This is ultimately up to the Clippy team. In the RFC discussion (e.g. rust-lang/rfcs#3389 (comment)), it sounds like there might be some mismatches in how these work.

Moving this over to clippy
