Behaviour:
`rustup doc` doesn't do anything, `BROWSER=wslview rustup doc` neither.
`rustup doc --std --path` echoes the std doc path, as expected.
`wslview $(rustup doc --std --path)

Either it will be resolved in the next rustup release, or I need to revisit.

wslview $(rustup doc --std --path) now shows rust docs, very good :)

So the resolution to my problem was the following:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wslutilities/wslu
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
$ wslview -r

No need to manually set the BROWSER env var anymore. Nice :)
