I thought `inplace` option is for debugging/testing without install,
not for installing or packaging.

As far as document [1], `inplace=1` in `setup.cfg` is noticed as:

  "which is probably a bad idea for this option, since always building extensions in-place would break installation of the module distribution."

[1] https://docs.python.org/3.6/distutils/configfile.html#writing-the-setup-configuration-file

So I don't know we should fix this or prohibit this.
Is this works for commands other than `install`?  How about sdist and bdist_wheel?
