PEP 832: virtual environment discovery
https://discuss.python.org/t/106998
@pauleveritt and the PyCharm folks would probably be interested in this one.
This PEP also puts me in a tie with @vstinner for being the 4th most prolific PEP (co-)author. 😅

I should mention that the redirect file solution was directly inspired by @simon to solve his "I keep my code in cloud backup directory, so I don't want my venv backed up as well" problem which is known as the "Simon Willison Problem" in my head (and I was **so** tempted to brand that term in the PEP)

@brettcannon Thanks for the nudge Brett. I’ll get with @judy2k for an answer from us.
