yeoman
Doctor complains when installation is not global
I want to install yeoman in my monorepo project... and wrap it as part of another tool (that registers the package elsewhere in the monorepo). however, this seems to annoy the doctor:

Is this verify necessary / useful? Can it be updated to support non-global installs?

It's useful for most users as it usually point to misconfigurations.
These are just warning, feel free to ignore if you know you have a special setup that is working fine.
@dfee if you are doing some custom lookups, you can consider using yeoman-environment directly. AFAIC yo is a stand-alone cli and yeoman-doctor is an yo utility.
