OK thanks Max. Also what specifically did you mean by "the build system" and "the CLI interface"? Are those separate repos from SwiftPM or part of it?

I really wish I knew how their "heuristic" works because in the short term we need a way to have a debug and a testing configuration, regardless of what they're called...
