Ah, my bad. I seem to have misinterpreted the [documentation](https://pkgdocs.julialang.org/v1/api/#Pkg.develop) of `]?dev`, from which I did not gather that this is quite similar to `]add`. (Though this is explained more clearly elsewhere in the `Pkg.jl` [documentation](https://pkgdocs.julialang.org/v1/managing-packages/#developing), and in [Add vs dev at a local path](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/add-vs-dev-at-a-local-path/58150) .)

Using `dev` is then a very neat and elegant solution!
