8.5.1 regression: `cargo watch -- cargo clippy`

I've tested the latest release and noticed there seems to be some kind of regression:

% cargo watch -- cargo clippy
error: The subcommand 'clippy' wasn't recognized
	Did you mean 'clippy'?

If you believe you received this message in error, try re-running with 'cargo watch -- clippy'

USAGE:
    cargo watch [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]

For more information try --help

I can work around it with cargo watch -x clippy but this update is likely breaking many workflows. Interestingly, this still works:

cargo watch -- cargo run -- asdf

but this does not:

cargo watch -- cargo run -- help

What the heck. This is the weirdest clap misfeature.

Ah, I think I've found the right combination of options to make it work. Released as 8.5.2, let me know if that fixes it for you.

Thanks for the quick bugfix release! :) I've uploaded 8.5.2 to Arch Linux now.
