Retitled the issue using the `--mainpath` spelling, as I wanted to link to it from the PEP 582 discussion, and that's my current favourite from the various ideas I've had since first filing the issue.

(I decided I didn't like `--basepath` because we already have `sys.base_prefix` that refers to something entirely different)
