You can also `cabal init -n` to get a minimal cabal file, then `cabal repl -b primitive` or whatever.

You can, `cabal build --ghc-options= "-fforce-recomp -ddump-simpl -O"`
should work (though it applies to all packages).

`cabal init` is your friend. That said, there are very little fields to
be set for minimal package, `cabal-version, name, version` and the
library pragma with `build-depends` and `exposed-modules`.

After you have done such package few times, you will remember those
easily. I'd argue a lot more easily that remembering how to use `cabal
install --lib` properly.
