I agree, however, --user needs to be more fully integrated into pip's
behavior. For example, if I execute

pip install --user SomePackage

today, when SomePackage is installed someplace outside ~/.local, pip
complains that SomePackage is already installed. If I then execute

pip install --user --upgrade SomePackage

it tries to remove the outdated more global version of SomePackage.
