Description
A discussion on discourse brought to light that juliaup (sometimes) [works with existing Julia installs](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/plans-for-updating-julia/75880/19?u=lilith), the readme currently recommends against this. It would be great if that cooperation could be formally supported.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the README guidance against the linked Discourse discussion about juliaup working with existing Julia installs. Define the supported coexistence behavior and update the documentation and relevant implementation so the README no longer recommends against it; verify the resulting behavior with the project's available checks.
