It's good to hear that I'm not alone with such an obvious(?) undocumented
use case... :-) I often want to say something like "Nuke away everything
related to nightly-X-Y-Z" (garbage-collecting away any GHC on the way, too)
or "Nuke GHC X.Y and all related snapshots". The last time I looked at
stack's documentation, I couldn't figure out how to do that, so from time
to time I completely remove ~/.stack, but that can't be the recommended way
to do this. ~/.stack gets *huge* after some time, so some easy
administrative interface for it would be nice.
