Comment (by guest):

 I think this may be a symptom of a slightly more general issue.  As a user
 of cabal-install it is not always obvious which commands depend on other
 commands.

 Also, I would imagine some users like the current behavior of cabal test,
 and perhaps ideally cabal could read my mind and magically behave in the
 way I prefer.  So, if it turns out this is a controversial change, perhaps
 we could get an option in the cabal config to toggle this behavior?

 Thanks!
