Research direction

Start by tracing how the current command-line switch activates the plugin and how tox.ini environments are represented. Define the configuration shape for selecting environments that should not use a virtual environment, while preserving existing behavior for other environments; done means the option works from tox.ini without the command-line switch.

Description

enhancement

As this plugin scope is to bypass the usage of a venv with tox, I do have a highly related use-case: I want to add some tox environments in tox.ini file that will not use any venv.

Basically this is asking for another way to activate this plugin instead of the command line switch.

This could prove very useful for using tox as a more generic build tool.
