Interest in making this `go install`-able?

This would be really nice for CI purposes, but I understand that it would be a bit of a change since some generated files would need to be included.

Out of curiosity for the maintainers of this project, what do you do to make your IDE work with this?

We've found curling the binaries down from the latest github release to be quite straightforward for CI. What's the use-case where go install is easier? Are there places where you don't have curl, or is it just because you're already go installing a bunch of other stuff?

We already have a system where we’re go installing other stuff. We use a separate go module to pin the versions and use dependabot to automatically update them over time.

Having it installed as a separate binary just means we have another place to manage dependency versions and packages.

go install is a bit easier for testing non-released versions and local builds
