What is the current state of support for importlib.resources for editable installs?

I am aware of scikit-build/scikit-build-core#399, but I'm not sure exactly what is expected to work afterwards and what is not. In my use case, I have a file that is installed by CMake as part of a package. When I do an editable install, importlib.resources.files returns a PosixPath pointing to the source directory. However, for (redirect-based) editable installs the package is split: installed items are placed into the Python site directory, while the Python source files are left intact. Shouldn't importlib.resources.files be returning something like a MultiplexedPath instead to support this? It's very possible that I'm missing something here, though, so I'm opening this as a discussion rather than an issue.

For anyone who comes here later, this is scikit-build/scikit-build-core#807.
