Previously, the bin dir of a given explicit venv was simply added to `$PATH` with no checks. This may have caused unintended executables to be invoked when given a nonexistent or non-directory argument. Whatever might be in `$PATH` would have been run, with `venv-run` becoming essentially a no-op.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think the rationale makes sense. Thanks.
The solution proposed with the current patch only checks for the path being a directory, but I think we could look and see that the directory looks like a virtual environment.
I'd like to suggest that we extract parts of guess() that can be reused into separate function(s) so that do can do the same type of validation when guessing and when the venv is explicitly passed via CLI. That would make the check on a explicit env consistent with the way we check when guessing.
Also, it would be good to have a test case for this.
