A problem Go modules hasn't yet solved: maintaining a fork of a package. The `replace` directive is simple but breaks `go install ...` so it's simply unviable sometimes. And without `replace` you need to rewrite all import paths to `github.com/{myfork}/module`. 🤷‍♂️

I think github.com/golang/go/is... would solve this. Give your fork its own module path, so `go install` works, and this issue would let a module replace target it still.
