Description

Continuing work for https://github.com/gleam-lang/gleam/pull/2153.

Add a way to create a collection of projects which all use a single manifest and pin the same version of any given package. This would allow the compiler to share build caches between local dependencies, potentially increasing compile speed for large projects.
