It would be nice if it were possible to set up aliases in .cargo/config; e.g.,

[alias]
b = "build"
t = "test"
rr = "run --release"
# etc.

Command alias or Alias command rust-lang#1091

Dearest Reviewer,

This pull request closes rust-lang#1091 which is a request to support aliases.
This is not as powerful as something like git's alias, however, I think
it sticks true to the original request.

I high jack the processing of the args. After a few flags are checked
and the args are parsed I check the config file for alias.COMMAND. If it
is there I split it like args does and replace args[1] (the original
command) with the alias command and its 'flags'.

I have also included default short hand commands b, t and r.

Thanks!
Becker

As an extra measure I output the alias command with warn. I would be
willing to drop that or put it behind a verbose flag. Also the docs have
been updated.

Thanks!
