I'm trying to debug ISLE-generated code by enabling the isle-in-source-tree feature for cranelift-codegen, as mentioned in the documentation. However, when running it, I encounter the following error:

error: the package 'cranelift-codegen' does not contain this feature: isle-in-source-tree

After searching through the project, I couldn't find any feature named isle-in-source-tree in the codebase.
