    // overrides. We used to just not support external modules that require
    // bootstrapping but that proved to restrictive. So now we allow such
    // modules and the following mechanisms can be used to make things work
    // in various situations:
    //
    // 1. Module is installed.
    //
    //    This covers both user-installed modules as well as the module's
    //    *-tests in our CI setup (where we install the module next to the
    //    build system).
    //
    // 2. Module is specified with global !config.import.<module> override.
    //
    //    This covers development (where the override can be specified in the
    //    default options file) and could cover imports from the bpkg-managed
    //    host configuration if we use global overrides to connect things
    //    (which feels correct; we shouldn't have multiple host configurations
    //    in any given build).
    //
    // One case that is not straightforward is using the module in testscript-
    // generated tests (e.g., in module's *-tests). This will work in CI
    // (installed module) and in development provided !config.import.* is
    // specified in the default options file (and we haven't suppressed it).
    //
    // In fact, this is not specific to modules that require bootstrapping; we
    // have the same config.import.* propagation problem from, say, *-tests's
    // config.build. To make other cases work (config.import.* specified in
    // places other than the default options file) we would have to propagate
    // things explicitly. So for now the thinking is that one shouldn't write
    // such tests except in controlled cases (e.g., module's *-tests).
