The site.getusersitepackages, site.addusersitepackages and co. functions all 
call one function which makes sure site.USER_SITE is set according to envvars 
and command-line options; under python -s, addusersitepackages will not add the 
user site dir to sys.path, but it will cause site.USER_SITE to be set (to 
False), so that’s why I can’t be sure that your patch does not change behavior. 
 test_site has good coverage for IIRC (just not sure if it covers starting 
python -s/-S and then importing site, and python -s/-S then import site then 
call site.main).

I regret that all these site functions are public, now we can’t simplify them 
to have the setting of site.USER_SITE in only one place.
