Description

I'd like to try out a nightly version of Node, e.g. v20.0.0-nightly2022122151246139e7 (e.g. see https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-node/issues/1933). Is it possible with Volta?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to fetch and install nightly Node.js builds from the official Node.js distribution. Look at how existing version managers (e.g., nvm, fnm) handle nightly releases. Then determine if Volta can adopt a similar pattern.
