Ignoring workspace packages themselves

[quantizor]

I'd love to use this plugin in a large monorepo, where many of the packages import each other using the typical "@namespace/package: "*" syntax. Currently the plugin pins these as well, but I'd like to exclude them from consideration and only focus on external dependencies.

I haven't used this plugin in a while (does it work in Yarn 4?) and don't have time to make this change, but I'd happily review/accept a PR.

Note that when I was using this in our own repos, I did not have the problem that you describe, because I referenced dependencies within the same root workspace by using the syntax "@whatever/package-with-same-root": "workspace:*" (Yarn calls this the "workspace" protocol). So assuming your setup is a root workspace with a bunch of nested workspaces that depend on each other, maybe you can switch to using this protocol and avoid the problem?

At least I'm 90% sure this will work :) it's possible I only ever ran the plugin before adding such workspace dependencies (I usually only needed to run the plugin once, since afterward I can just add new packages with yarn add -E to get the same effect; in fact you can even do this after installing a package, although I think there may be another flag to prefer the currently resolved version).
