Is there any *advantage* to using `pip install` instead of `python -m
install`? If not, could we at least change everything under Python/pip
control (e.g., pip documentation) to never recommend `pip` and always
recommend `python -m pip` instead, and encourage all third-party
documentation to always use `python -m pip` and never use `pip`?
Obviously this isn't a full solution, but in the end there's no way we
change external third-party documentation, which will always eventually
become outdated. Absent that, it seems worthwhile to regularize
existing official documentation.
