Replacing inconvenient package name. Got error: replacement module without version must be directory path (rooted or starting with ./ or ../)

Problem

In go.mod file I wrote:

module github.com/Siiir/vector

go 1.17

require github.com/huandu/go-clone v1.3.2 // indirect
replace clone => github.com/huandu/go-clone[v1.3.2]

It says that I cannot do such a replacement.
I actually solved my problem with the name of imported package.
It is convenient & working without that dash. I found that I can use clone.something to refer to a function.
No need to type go-clone.something.
Anyway, assume that a package name is indeed crazy or inconvenient. How can I replace it?

What I've seen:

• I've seen a sibling question:
  https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55533971/go-modules-replace-does-not-work-replacement-module-without-version-must-be

What I tried:

1. Working with terminal:

• go mod edit -replace=clone=github.com/huandu/go-clone
  got: go: -replace=clone=github: unversioned new path must be local directory

2. manual editing:

• Attempts like: replace clone => github.com/huandu/go-clone[v1.3.2]
  got: replacement module without version must be directory path (rooted or starting with ./ or ../)

You cannot.

And you should not. The import path is something you write just once in the import declaration and the package name can be changed on a per file level with import nicename "something.you.think/is-totally/inconvenient/and/unacceptable-to/your_taste" .
