[Haskell-cafe] cabal or stack command to fetch and add dependency to .cabal file

[Michael Snoyman]

Yes, stack has plans for automatic stack.yaml maintenance:

https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/115

It's been purposely back-burnered as we focus on more central features
first, but it's actually a pretty good issue for a newcomer to embark on
since it doesn't interact with the rest of the system too much.

I'm not exactly sure though what you mean by "fetch" here. To clarify:
stack will automatically download the source for the dependency when
building.
