Comment (by gershomb):
Along with this, GHC and GHCI should always notify when loading with a
package-env file. The default lookup paths make it too easy to
accidentally run with a file when you don't realize you are, causing
potentially strange behavior. Now that cabal new-* commands generate these
files by default, I imagine there will be many people confused by this.
