sorry, there's 2 confusing misspells in my sentence.  here it is again:

pip doesn't necessarily have to "interact with many different versions of
the same build tool during a single invocation" if for example it's
sub-processing the interactions to some "pip-build" tool that handles the
imports and use of the python API.  I.e. pip calls some "pip-build" tool
(per build), which does the import, not pip itself.
