pybind11
I just find out that
- If I use `pip install', then it will automatically install pybind11 (through pip) for me if I don't have pybind11 in the system.
- If I use
cmake, then it will stop if I don't have pybind11 in the system. This behavior is a bit confusing to me. Can we also make pybind11 as an external project in cmake?
When doing a pip install, pyproject.toml will be referenced and pybind11 is listed as a build system requirement, so it will be automatically pulled.

When using Cmake directly, you need to install the pybind11 dependency.
I don't think including it as an external project is a good idea.
I see. We should probably mention this somewhere in the (new) documentation.
I think if we plan to maintain the Python API only, we can just focus on the installation process for the Python package.
