Right, and ISTM it also enables a useful subset of "setup.py develop"
functionality where the .pth acts analogously to an .egg-link - the
referenced project becomes importable while still being editable, though its
headers, scripts and data are not installed, nor does it appear on a list of
installed distributions.
