Feature Request
pip install -e supports the --config-settings argument when installing a package as editable, like so:
pip install -e . --config-settings editable_mode=strict
However, I cannot use it when invoking poetry add --editable
The reason this feature would be useful is because both Pylance and PyCharm require editable packages to be installed with editable_mode=strict or editable_mode=compat for intellisense to work:

Research direction
Start with the poetry add --editable command and compare its behavior with the documented pip install -e . --config-settings editable_mode=strict example. The work is done when editable additions accept the requested --config-settings options and support the Pylance and PyCharm use case described in the issue.
