Description of changes

The main purpose of this package is to be used as a dependency in projects that depend upon it without having to patch their build dependency requirements.

In my opinion, adding this dependency is easier to follow, review, and understand than patching a pyproject.toml file. Feedback and other opinions welcome for discussion.

Related to #245509.
