-      TODO: https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/issues/29292
-      We package Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Workspaces and Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Workspaces.Desktop in the same package,
-      which is an unusal pattern that's not supported by NuGet Pack. We need to employ a trick to build the package this way.
-      
-      Workspaces project sets its PackageId used for Restore to Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Workspaces.Common.
-      Here we use NuspecPackageId instead, which the Arcade toolset uses to set the PackageId just for Pack build phase, but not the Restore phase
-      (setting it for Restore phase would produce duplicate PackageId because we already used the same value in Workspaces project).
-      This way all projects that depend on Workspaces will produce packages depending on Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Workspaces.Common package
-      (using the Restore PackageId), but they do not need to depend on Workspaces.Desktop project to do so.
-      
-      We also need to use hand-written NuSpec file in order to add netstandard1.3 dependency group without multi-targeting this project.
