+ This test only covers using v2-build to install the requested Cabal library
+ version because it has the best build product caching (keeps CI times
+ down). We could also use stack since it has a global package cache but we
+ don't support that because stack always comes with the right Cabal library
+ version available for a given resolver anyways.
