I’m not sure! I know Fedora does it… somehow. I think maybe they have a default
skel file that does it? The fact that I don’t (yet) know a good answer to that
question is part of why pip doesn’t do this already :)
I do think you’re going to confuse people though if they go and do something
like ``pip install twine`` and that completes successfully and then they run
``twine`` and it tells them they can’t find the command.
