Cargo has four built-in command aliases1: c for check, b for build, r for run, and t for test. It would be consistent and useful during development for cargo-xbuild to provide x-prefixed versions of these (xc for xcheck, xb for xbuild, xr for xrun, and xt for xtest). I propose staying in sync with Cargo and only adding short aliases that exist there (e.g. not adding xd → xdoc).
I know I can do this locally, but I'd like to have it provided by cargo-xbuild. I'd be happy to help out with the implementation work.
1See the bottom of the Cargo configuration key reference (yes, it's a bit of an odd place for this documentation to reside, but oh well).
