(e.g., an identifier like
``unix-2.3.1.0-de7803f1a8cd88d2161b29b083c94240``). This is useful
if providing just the package name and version are ambiguous (in old
versions of GHC, this was guaranteed to be unique, but this
invariant no longer necessarily holds).

- Causes ``ghc-pkg`` to interpret arguments as unit IDs (e.g., an
- identifier like ``I5BErHzyOm07EBNpKBEeUv``). Package keys are used
- to prefix symbol names GHC produces (e.g.,
- ``6VWy06pWzzJq9evDvK2d4w6_DataziByteStringziInternal_unsafePackLenChars_info``),
- so if you need to figure out what package a symbol belongs to, use
- ``ghc-pkg`` with this flag.
