If set and --universe_scope is unset, then a value of --universe_scope will be inferred as the list of unique target patterns in the query expression. Note that the --universe_scope value inferred for a query expression that uses universe-scoped functions (e.g.`allrdeps`) may not be what you want, so you should use this option only if you know what you are doing. See https://bazel.build/reference/query#sky-query for details and examples. If --universe_scope is set, then this option's value is ignored. Note: this option applies only to `query` (i.e. not `cquery`).
