I couldn't find a README, hard to see what it does exactly. Is it just
more convenience around the idiom of using

   cabal install --env . --lib ghc-heap-view

to get a .ghc.environment file in the local directory (which is, as
long as you use ghc or ghci in that directory, as good as the good old
cabal v1-install, it seems)?


Cheers,
Joachim
