To clarify - the `name` is always the plugin name/id. The `spec` is either
a version, a version range, or a "location" (locar folder, tarball, git repo)
to get the plugin from. If `spec` is a version or range, then the name is
necessary and we fully identify the plugin as `<name>@<version>`. If `spec` is
a location, then the name is not necessary (since we will install whatever we
find at the specified location, regardless of the name), and we can fully
identify the plugin with just the location. So the existing code logic is
correct.
