I'm not sure that's necessary:
- As I've described, a special shim backend could load hooks from the
  source directory. This doesn't need us to specify another option in
  the toml file.- Nathaniel is one of the core numpy developers, so if he's not asking
  for that switch, numpy presumably doesn't need it. :-)
