I don't disagree with providing an escape hatch and I totally sympathise that applications can and do make crappy choices - I disagree that it should take the form of...

App configuration on macOS does _not_ belong in `Library/Preferences`, which is reserved for plist files generated by calling the "[NSUserDefaults](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/LegacyTechnologies/WebObjects/WebObjects_3.5/Reference/Frameworks/ObjC/Foundation/Classes/NSUserDefaults/Description.html#//apple_ref/occ/cl/NSUserDefaults) class or an equivalent...

Reusing the `--wheel` flag will likely add to the confusion. #304 says that the `--wheel` flag signifies that the wheel is built from source instead of the source distribution.

Should `python -m build dist/some-tarball.tar.gz` build both an sdist and a wheel or just the wheel? Should a `.zip` file be considered an sdist or just a zipped up source...
