A library name is a package name, package version, and hash of the version names of all textual dependencies (i.e. packages which were included.) A library name is a coarse approximation of installed package IDs, which are suitable for inclusion in package keys (you don't want to put an IPID in a package key, since it means the key will change any time the source changes.) - We define ShPackageKey, which is the semantic object which is hashed into a PackageKey. You can use 'newPackageKey' to hash a ShPackageKey to a PackageKey - Given a PackageKey, we can lookup its ShPackageKey with 'lookupPackageKey'. The way we can do this is by consulting the 'pkgKeyCache', which records a reverse mapping from every hash to the ShPackageKey. This means that if you load in PackageKeys from external sources (e.g. interface files), you also need to load in a mapping of PackageKeys to their ShPackageKeys so we can populate the cache. - We define a 'LibraryName' which encapsulates the full depenency resolution that Cabal may have selected; this is opaque to GHC but can be used to distinguish different versions of a package. - Definite packages don't have an interesting PackageKey, so we rely on Cabal to pass them to us. - We can pretty-print package keys while displaying the instantiation, but it's not wired up to anything (e.g. the Outputable instance of PackageKey).
