Well, `opam pin add --dev type_conv` is a bit more verbose, but it will prompt 
for install or upgrade with a single command. It could be possible to install 
the dev version as a one-shot, without pinning, but I don't think that would be 
a good idea, since opam will likely want to downgrade it on any later upgrade 
or if needing recompilation...
