I'm a programmer. I'm very used to devel tooling I'm expected to invoke as a programmer to be affected by what's in scope as a function of the CWD, e.g. `cabal`, `git`, `make` to name a few.

I think the difference here is, that tools like 'git' create and use the environment by themselves. So it's IMHO a lot easier to get an intuition about the behaviour of these tools. That's not the case for 'cabal' creating an environment and 'ghc' using it. Greetings, Daniel
