Hm, seems to be that the latest clap 3 beta requires rust 1.54 (due to extended_key_value_attributes becoming stable there) - see clap-rs/clap#2741.

I'm thinking we need to state and bump our MSRV (Minimum Supported Rust Version) to 1.54 - will that be a problem for you, @flavv, or will you be able to update? If possible, using rustup should make updating smooth.

[fornwall]

Let's go for 1.54 as minimum supported rust version (MSRV) - I've added that information in the README now.

$ rustc --version
rustc 1.57.0 (f1edd0429 2021-11-29)

$ echo 'println!("Hello, World!");' > hello.rs
$ rust-script hello.rs
Hello, World!

it works fine !
