Historically pip has had several entrypoints defined. Because of issues

    of them having a pip installed, users suffer every time an entrypoint gets
    moved.

To alleviate this pain, and provide a mechanism for warning users and
    directing them to an appropriate place for help, we now define all of
    our old entrypoints as wrappers for the current one.
