OK whereas if you have no locally installed soso, it will pick the
system node-soso.

I don't know much of the ruby world.

But that looks like the same as you get in python, when you pass the
--system-site-packages option to virtualenv.

By default virtualenv is completely isolated from the global site-packages.
