That is not really an option because it is not "my" vendor directory.
For example, there is a lot of Ruby code in this repository, which
some people install with 'bundle install --deployment' which creates a
'/vendor/ruby' directory.

That is more or less the situation we're in now and I want to move
towards a top-level go.mod for the sake of automatic dependency
scanner tools (license detection, vulnerability scanners).

We already have a Makefile for the Go code. That is fine for building
the software, but not great for development because the Go code I'm
talking about now has 34 packages and you don't always want to run 'go
test' for all 34 of them.

The moment you need fine grained control I think you need to use the
go tool chain.

If there was a local version of `go env`, as you suggested earlier,
then we could bootstrap that from our Makefile.

Thanks, that would indeed work, but it's not tenable in the long run
because someone will want to use new Go language features at some
point.

Too bad, it doesn't sound like there are any good options for me.
