The "selectable" entry points were introduced in ``importlib_metadata``
3.6 and Python 3.10. Prior to those changes, ``entry_points`` accepted
no parameters and always returned a dictionary of entry points, keyed
by group. With ``importlib_metadata`` 5.0 and Python 3.12,
``entry_points`` always returns an ``EntryPoints`` object. See
`backports.entry_points_selectable <https://pypi.org/project/backports.entry-points-selectable>`_
