Conversation
For Rust, set the `IncludePrerelease` field of the semver [`Constraints`] to true. This makes it possible to set `channel = "nightly"`, without getting errors like this: ``` ERROR: the Rust version requirement was not satisfied: '1.94.0-nightly is a prerelease version and the constraint is only looking for release versions'. ``` Most users won't have any reason to use `channel = "nightly"`, however it is useful for users that specifically wish to test `channel = "nightly", such as to help find problems with future Rust versions before they become stable versions.

Changes to Core Features:
I didn't write any tests because I didn't find any test harness in the tree suitable for writing tests for a change of this nature, and also, it's a minor change that only impacts users that opt into it by choosing prerelease Rust versions, which will include me, for the purpose of testing.
User Impact
The only impact is on users who knowingly opt into using prerelease Rust versions, and the only change is to allow this to work.
Are there any considerations that need to be addressed for release?
I'm not aware of any.
