BUG Description
Contrary to what the docs say under docs.npmjs.com/cli/v10/commands/npm-install
Test results show that submodule cloning doesn't happen for (as in, docs are inaccurate for) npm 7 (v7.24.2), npm 8 (v8.19.4), npm 9 (v9.9.0), and npm latest/10 (v10.2.1).
This is an update to the docs in the meantime while waiting for the submodules to be brought back
