This package will do all of its work in-memory so that it can avoid making
partial updates and then failing, so we need to be able to load the
sources files from a particular directory into memory.
The upgrade process isn't idempotent, so we also attempt to detect
heuristically whether an upgrade has already been performed (can parse
with the new parser and has a version constraint that prevents versions
earlier than 0.12) so that the CLI tool that will eventually wrap this
will be able to produce a warning and prompt for confirmation in that
case.
