Is there a way to see all the crates in my project that optionally depend on another crate?

I'm adding parking_lot to my project and I want my dependencies that can optionally use it to use it as well.

For example, I know that Tokio has a feature flag to enable parking_lot, but I want to find all my dependencies that have similar feature flags.

Yandros on the Rust Discord server whipped up this combination of cargo metadata and jq to list the crates that have an optional dependency on a given package (parking_lot in this example):

cargo metadata --format-version 1 | jq -c '.packages[] | select(
    .dependencies | any(
        (.name == "parking_lot")
        and
        (.optional == true)
    )
) | .name'
