jq: error (at :1): Cannot index array with string "workspace

Hello, when you run yq as a python module, it expects YAML. To parse TOML, you have to use the tomlq executable:

tomlq '.workspace[]' Cargo.toml

That's really bad for bash scripting and UX. I decided to use dasel instead just for the one case where a toml table is empty. I use the yq package for everything else.
