Description
Since https://github.com/ITensor/ITensors.jl/pull/1551 and https://github.com/ITensor/ITensorMPS.jl/pull/31, ITensors.jl no longer exports add!, since it is primarily an operation for OpSum, which was also removed as an export.
As an alternative, one has to load ITensorMPS.jl which exports add!. However, we don't want to force users of ITensorNetworks.jl to explicitly load ITensorMPS.jl, so we should allow users to do using ITensorNetworks: add! to access it, and also considering exporting it eventually (I'm trying to limit exports from ITensorNetworks.jl for the time being).

Research direction
Start by locating how ITensorNetworks.jl defines its public exports and how it accesses the add! operation from its dependencies. Verify the package can provide add! through an explicit using ITensorNetworks: add! without requiring ITensorMPS.jl, and add or update coverage for that import behavior if the repository has relevant tests.
