Today I was going to propose a new feature for cargo but found out Josh Triplett had almost the same idea and it was already implemented. TLDR: it enables you to call metabuild() function of an external crate instead of writing a build script and use Cargo.toml [metadata] for input.
No, the point of the xtask pattern is that you don't have to install a subcommand. Instead, you use the [alias] table in the .cargo/config to add an alias such that cargo xtask transparently does e.g. cargo run --package xtask --, or whatever you want.
