Yes, it's for module development.
What I do is to actually install, not just test, my module before pushing
it to GitHub.
Usually all my test programs have a "use lib 'lib'" to make sure to use the
present version of the module to test itself.
Though if I miss a "use lib 'lib'" maybe the installed module is used, so I
want to uninstall it before the reinstall.
