almost no one on windows builds from source unless they're contributing,
and `./x.py` just works on most unix systems.

This is how the documentation and examples assume you are running `x.py`.
Some alternative ways are:
```sh
# On a Unix shell if you don't have the necessary `python3` command
./x <subcommand> [flags]
# On the Windows Command Prompt (if .py files are configured to run Python)
x.py <subcommand> [flags]
# You can also run Python yourself, e.g.:
python x.py <subcommand> [flags]
```
See the [rustc dev guide][rustcguidebuild] if this does not work on your platform.
More information about `x.py` can be found by running it with the `--help` flag
or reading the [rustc dev guide][rustcguidebuild].
