    `noSymbolVersion` doesn't have a value if `parsedSpec.version` doesn't have 
a `^` or `~`.  I'd fix that by giving `noSymbolVersion` a default value of 
`parsedSpec.version`. Like:
    
    ```
    var noSymbolVersion = parsedSpec.version
    ```
    
    So the purpose of this code is to replace the plugin dependency version in 
`package.json` if the user passes in a specific one that doesn't satisfy what 
is already in `package.json`.
    
    I believe `parsedSpec.version` can be:
    
    * a version number (possibly with ^ or ~)
    * a url
    * a local path
    
    I think semver.satisfies would fail if `parsedSpec.version` was url or 
path. 
    
    Maybe we do checks similar to line 428 to see if `parsedSpec.version` is a 
URL or directory. If it is, don't do th satisfies check, instead do a 
equivalence check (pkgJson.dependencies[parsedSpec.package] === 
parsedSpec.version)
    
    We also don't check if fetchOptions.save is true. We don't want to write to 
package.json unless that is true.
