How to get a list of all non-yanked available versions of a package?

[Frederick888]

I was trying to fix kbknapp/cargo-outdated#101 and found that it might be a bit tricky to get a list of all non-yanked available versions of a package.

Because I would also like to get the pre-releases, wildcard requirement "*" does not work for me. Currently I'm using:

let dependency = Dependency::parse_no_deprecated(name, None, source_id)?;
let query_result = source.query_vec(&dependency)?;

...but Summary does not have an API like Summary::is_yanked() which could allow me to filter out those yanked ones.

Is there a workaround of this issue?

Same as #4679 ?!

@lukaslueg Related but not the same. #4679 kinda suggests completely hiding yanked packages from Registry::query_vec() results, on the other hand here I'm actually asking for a way to access more fields in the crates.io API results (e.g. quickcheck). But it seems that (surprisingly) neither cargo nor crates-io provides such a functionality?

IMO it might be better to have another layer between query_vec() and Summary so it can serve as the returned results of query_vec() and allows developers to access more fields of crates-io API results.
