+* On each run, stack will test the stack root directory (~/.stack), and the 
+  project and package work directories (.stack-work) for whether they are
+  owned by the current user and abort if they are not. This precaution can
+  be disabled with the `--allow-different-user` flag or `allow-different-user`
+  option in the global config (~/.stack/config.yaml).
