Description

See the conversation on https://github.com/golang/go/issues/31999 and https://github.com/golang/go/issues/32049. Could we add some special value of the setting and have it automatically infer the name of the current module? For use cases where -local is not necessarily the path of current module, we could still allow a configuration as before.
