Comment:

 Now `cabal install --help` displays this at the end:

 {{{
 Examples:
   cabal install                     Package in the current directory
   cabal install foo                 Package from the hackage server
   cabal install foo-1.0             Specific version of a package
   cabal install 'foo < 2'           Constrained package version
 }}}
