Wording of the message when asking to install already installed stuff

New user here.

Upon issuing

ghcup install cabal

I get

[ Warn  ] Cabal ver 3.2.0.0 already installed, you may want to run 'ghcup rm cabal 3.2.0.0' first

Now I'm new to ghcup so I might be wrong, but I think this message is telling me that Cabal ver 3.2.0.0 is already installed, so my install request resulted in a no-op, and that if I really want to re-install it, then I have to uninstall it first.

Just to reiterate, I think the current wording just seems to consider that "requesting the installation of version X when version X is already installed" is a totally normal and usual workflow.
