Description

Is there a possibility of having a new `--no-shim` option on `install` and `upgrade`, to completely skip shimming altogether?

I'm aware that creating a `.ignore` file will stop an exe from being shimmed, but for massive packages the process of scanning for exes can take quite a long time. It would be nice if there were a CLI option to skip it altogether.
