I don't see how that
are those tricks necessary in this specific case? couldn't we
have a list/range of versions in the version: field, and let cabal
handle the details?
I don't understand what you're proposing here. Surely just writing
version: 1.0, 2.0
isn't enough - you need to say what the 1.0 and 2.0 APIs
