Description

ghc-mod has a heuristic to choose between cabal and stack based projects.

This is (partly) based on the presence of a dist dir, which is taken to indicate a cabal project.

Issue a warning message on startup if both dist and .stack-work are present in the project root.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate where the project detection heuristic checks for the dist directory. Add a similar check for the .stack work directory, then emit a warning if both are present at startup.
