Description
Headers ... may not be available from an editable install.
However, the meson-python Editable installs docs page linked just above says:
An editable install exposes at least all the files that would be available in a regular installation.
wouldn't exposing at least all files imply exposing all headers? If so, does one of these pages need correcting?
@rgommers maybe you can help clear this up?

Research direction

Determine whether NumPy headers are included in a regular installation and editable installation, then update the relevant documentation so the two statements are consistent.
