Right now the papers install --local writes .papersconfig locally, but keep the same global defaults for filesdir and bibtex
While this may be OK and can be overwritten manually, the use case for --local is to have parallel, independent, medium-size projects. To me, this is one of the main uses of papers.
It would be good to adjust the defaults so that:
papers install --local defaults to local bibliography and filesdir
default to an existing bibliography if any is found
To make it more useful, it might also be good to have a recursive, upward search like git
