My question was probably a bit unclear so let me try to clarify it.
What's the purpose of scion-open-cabal-project? Does it set the
include path used for subsequent scion-loads? What's the ".dist-scion"
directory and how does it differ from the normal "dist" directory?

Right. I meant if I don't root my source files in the same directory
as the Cabal file it won't work.
