Is there a way to specify work-queue flow-run concurrency limits when a work queue is defined? I know they can be set via the UI or CLI (<https://discourse.prefect.io/t/how-can-i-impose-concurrency-limits-for-flow-and-task-runs/87#work-queue-flow-run-concurrency-limits-3|like this>), but it seems this always has to happen *after* the work queue has been created, as an additional step (vs being able to do so in the prefect.YAML file). Wondering if I’m missing anything, or if this is indeed a requirement. Thanks! cc: <@U043VPQ300Z>

Hey Rowdy! Just to confirm, is the ask to explicitly create the new work_queue in the prefect.yaml?

You should be able to create a new work queue (with concurrency limits) in an existing work pool using the CLI. It'd look something like this:
```prefect work-queue create my-new-queue --limit 3 --pool docker-pool```


the output looks like this:
```Created work queue with properties:
    name - 'my-new-queue'
    work pool - 'docker-pool'
    id - 6188b5e0-bb2e-4ff2-ac2c-e6f91c89e5a7
    concurrency limit - 3```
