pip-review also updates pip, maybe mention that in the Readme

Quick question that I'm not knowledgable enough to figure out the answer myself and haven't been able to find out through searching - does pip-review update pip itself, or not? Also, would this be good to mention in the README, or is it just something that's obvious to everyone except me?

As of version 1.0, pip-review is a thin wrapper around pip. The status as a wrapper is documented, both in the Readme and in pip-review -h. Pip does update itself, so yes, pip-review will update pip. Basically, neither pip nor pip-review will make an exception for any package. Do you believe that belongs in the Readme?

Thanks! I guess that somehow I hadn't made that connection and hadn't checked to see if pip updates itself. I do think that it would be helpful for some to include this in the Readme, perhaps in something like a FAQ at the bottom, or by change the example to include upgrading pip? On the other hand, I suppose it is something that should be pretty apparent (especially with an issue about it now), and possibly not worth the space in the README.
