(Note that 1.18.1.3 is not a released version, just a version bump in the
repo in preparation for the release.)

The 1.18 branch is currently at 0d5ffeb91075739246627da17bda945aedc6a427
and I'm worried that ee6d1cf5cefe18f6d74ed379af21d92f8b0ae92d hasn't seen
enough testing. Duncan suggested (
https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/1660) that this change should be
included in a GHC RC, but since that's a bit annoying I'll try a Cabal RC
instead.

Will do that when I do the Cabal release.
