I wish Cargo (Rust) would let you mark a Feature as "internal" and then not expose it directly or mark it different or something when listing enabled Features in the CLI. This program has two Features, "speed-debug-visual" and "speed-debug-serial". They both rely on a third Feature, "speed-debug-internal", but speed-debug-internal does nothing but provide support guts for the other two Features and there's no reason to turn it on by itself, it's just there to be a dependency for the other two
This problem is exacerbated by the fact that although cargo doc is very good at scooping up most important comments, there's still no formal way for cargo doc to get documentation of the Features. So many published crates forget to document their Features altogether, and you're left to figure out which Features are viable options from the +++- printout in cargo add, except usually that's like three user-exposed ones and five that only matter if you're developing the crate itself
