+ * Links the local checkouts of the dependencies of the package in the current folder into its `node_modules`.
+ *
+ * The current package, and in a monorepo each of its workspace members, then builds and runs against the working
+ * trees of its dependencies instead of their registry releases. Dependencies are matched to checkouts by package name.
+ *
+ * - **Deps**: each folder searched is either a package or a folder holding packages as direct children; a monorepo
+ *   found there contributes its workspace members as well, wherever its `workspaces` patterns place them
+ * - **Selection**: links every package named in the `dependencies`, `devDependencies`, `peerDependencies` or
+ *   `optionalDependencies` of the current package or its members. Each linked package then brings in the checkouts
+ *   named in its own `dependencies`, `peerDependencies` or `optionalDependencies`. A package shared along the chain
+ *   is thus loaded once from its working tree, never also as a registry copy with distinct classes and symbols
+ * - **Copies**: installed copies of a linked package are replaced with links at any depth, both in the current
+ *   package and in linked checkouts, since a linked package resolves its own imports from its checkout
+ * - **Commands**: the `bin` commands of each linked package are linked into the `.bin` folder next to it and made
+ *   executable, so that npm scripts run the working tree version of a command rather than its registry release
+ * - **Precedence**: where a name is found in more than one folder, the folder listed first wins
+ * - **Versions**: version ranges are ignored, as a working tree may carry a version that is not released yet
+ *
+ * Links replace whatever the current package has installed under the same name. Inside a linked checkout, they only
+ * replace installed copies and never add new packages. Missing folders are skipped, so the same command runs
+ * unchanged on every machine, including machines where some of the named folders hold no local checkouts at all.
+ *
+ * Each package link is printed on stdout, relative to the current package, such as `node_modules/@scope/name`; links
+ * to `bin` commands are created silently, since they follow from the package links already listed.
+ *

+/**
+ * Links the local checkouts of the dependencies of the package in the current folder into its `node_modules`.
+ *
+ * The current package, and in a monorepo each of its workspace members, then builds and runs against the working
+ * trees of its dependencies instead of their registry releases. Dependencies are matched to checkouts by package name.
+ *
+ * - **Deps**: each folder searched is either a package or a folder holding packages as direct children; a monorepo
+ *   found there contributes its workspace members as well, wherever its `workspaces` patterns place them
+ * - **Selection**: links every package named in the `dependencies`, `devDependencies`, `peerDependencies` or
+ *   `optionalDependencies` of the current package or its members. Each linked package then brings in the checkouts
+ *   named in its own `dependencies`, `peerDependencies` or `optionalDependencies`. A package shared along the chain
+ *   is thus loaded once from its working tree, never also as a registry copy with distinct classes and symbols
+ * - **Copies**: installed copies of a linked package are replaced with links at any depth, both in the current
+ *   package and in linked checkouts, since a linked package resolves its own imports from its checkout
+ * - **Commands**: the `bin` commands of each linked package are linked into the `.bin` folder next to it and made
+ *   executable, so that npm scripts run the working tree version of a command rather than its registry release
+ * - **Precedence**: where a name is found in more than one folder, the folder listed first wins
+ * - **Versions**: version ranges are ignored, as a working tree may carry a version that is not released yet
+ *
+ * Links replace whatever the current package has installed under the same name. Inside a linked checkout, they only
+ * replace installed copies and never add new packages. Missing folders are skipped, so the same command runs
+ * unchanged on every machine, including machines where some of the named folders hold no local checkouts at all.
+ *
+ * Each package link is printed on stdout, relative to the current package, such as `node_modules/@scope/name`; links
+ * to `bin` commands are created silently, since they follow from the package links already listed.
+ *
+ * @example
+ *
+ * Linking the sibling checkouts of a package after a clean install, from an npm script:
+ *
+ * ```shell
+ * npm ci && ln
+ * ```
+ *
+ * Linking from a folder of local dependencies elsewhere:
+ *
+ * ```shell
+ * npm ci && ln ~/Metreeca/Packages
+ * ```
+ *
+ * @param deps The folders searched for local dependencies, in order of precedence; defaults to the parent folder (`..`)
+ *
+ * @throws Error If the current folder holds no `package.json`
