+This file was generated by `cargo-cabal`, its goal is to define few hooks to
+call `cargo` on the fly and link correctly the generated library.
+
+While it's an acceptable hack as this project is currently a prototype, this
+should be removed before `cargo-cabal` stable release.

+This hook could be remove if at some point, likely if this issue is resolved
+https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/2641

+
+It would be nice to remove this hook ot some point, e.g., if this RFC is merged
+in Cabal https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/7906

+
+This handy automation (particularly useful when you want to quickly prototype
+without having to spawn manually `cargo` commands) is disabled by default.
+Feel free to re-enable it while debugging your library, but I discourage you
+strongly to publish anything on Hackage that contains this hook!
