+-- In 2023-02, this is hard to build; gogol is unmaintained and requires old aeson < 1.6,

+-- On modern macs these GHCs are difficult to run. This build most deps for me:

+gsheet-csv - download the CSV of a Google Sheet you have access to
+
+INSTALL:
+Get stack if needed, eg from https://haskell-lang.org/get-started
+Run "./gsheet-csv.hs" once to compile. On Windows, run "stack gsheet-csv.hs".
+
+SETUP:
+Set up an account at https://console.developers.google.com/iam-admin/serviceaccounts, selecting or creating a project
+Save the service account's email address
+Create a key and download as json to ~/.config/gcloud/KEYFILE.json
+Symlink this to ~/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json
+Share spreadsheets with the service account's email address
+
+USAGE:
+gsheet-csv SPREADSHEETID SHEETNAME  - print specified sheet as CSV

+Notes for developers of stack (1.9.1) scripts:
+
+1. In the stack header above, flags' position and style are critical.
+Minor variations cause very different behaviour.
+
+2. For different run actions, adjust the stack command:
+script --optimize  - run compiled, after compiling if needed
+script --compile   - run compiled, after compiling if needed (without optimisation)
+script             - run interpreted (slower)
+exec runghc        - run interpreted using ambient GHC package db
+exec ghc           - compile
+exec ghci          - load in GHCI
+exec ghcid         - watch for compile errors
+
+3. To silence "Using resolver:" output (but also deps install output), change --verbosity to warn
+
+4. Declare which package each import is from, keep synced with --package; might as well be clear
