yes -- in the later, you have to START with the conda environment. But yes
-- that should be doable. If conda understands pip metadata for
dependencies and conda provides pip-understandable metadata, then that
could work fine.

good point --- you'd also want a way for the conda to easily re-create the
environment, with the pip-installed stuff included. But again, do-able.
