-- | A dependency resolver is a function that works out an installation plan
-- given the set of installed and available packages and a set of deps to
-- solve for.
--
-- The reason for this interface is because there are dozens of approaches to
-- solving the package dependency problem and we want to make it easy to swap
-- in alternatives.
