WOW!! Sorry for being such an idiot -- I tried that, I really did -- a
couple times, and it failed.

but now it works fine, just like you'd expect. I have no idea what was
doing before.

a small doc patch might be in order -- I actually couldn't find that
anywhere. Though looking now, I see:

pip install [options] [-e] <local project path> ...

I must have gotten that tied to the -e option in my head, and didn't notice
that the -e is optional...

Sorry for the noise:

Thanks,
