> Let a globally installed package use a locally installed version of itself if available

Useful for CLI tools that want to defer to the user's locally installed version when available, but still work if it's not installed locally. For example, [AVA](http://ava.li) and [XO](https://github.com/xojs/xo) uses this method.
