    140140It lets the user start shell sessions where the usual Haskell tools (ghc, cabal etc) only use and install packages from the isolated environment. It is implemented by setting environment variables, the `PATH` and `GHC_PACKAGE_PATH` such that the `ghc` and `cabal` commands will install packages only within the local environment.
