print-api somtimes get confused about GHC version

[mmhat]

I am trying to use print-api in a new project of mine: https://github.com/mmhat/os-string-aeson
I have GHC 9.10.1 set as the default compiler, but use GHC 9.8.2 in that project (specified in the cabal.project.local).
I did the following:

$ cabal exec -v0 -- ghc --numeric-version
9.8.2

$ gh release download --repo Kleidukos/print-api --pattern 'print-api-*-Linux-static-9.8.2-x86_64.tar.gz' --output - | tar -xz
$ ls -l print-api
-rwxr-xr-x 1 user users 20M Jul 21 22:11 print-api

$ cabal build all

$ ./print-api --package-name os-string-aeson

$ cabal exec -- ./print-api --package-name os-string-aeson

The last command worked, but I think the user experience could be better...

What is the default GHC version that you have in your shell?

Oh, I forgot to mention that in the issue: It's GHC 9.10.1.

Haha yeah I am not surprised this would confuse it. Yeah we have to work on the ergonomics of the tool.
