We've also had a fair amount of difficulty here, in a similar vein (but
slightly different).
Specifically, we need to modify the `mix.exs` file to include a new
dependency and do a recompile. I can understand that
`Mix.Task.run("compile")` should remain as it is, but it would be great if
there was some kind of magic `Mix.recompile` that would recompile the
project including any file system changes or `mix.exs` changes, etc.
The goal would be that it was functionally equivalent to the user typing
`mix compile` into their shell.
We've hacked around this by vendoring the `mix deps.compile` task and doing
some goofy stuff to reload the mix project, but a proper core api for this
would be wonderful.
