so that e.g. this doesn't happen:
> show mimaPreviousVersion
[info] Some(1.0.6)
> set mimaPreviousVersion := None
<set>:1: error: not found: value mimaPreviousVersion
mimaPreviousVersion := None
(note set ScalaModulePlugin.mimaPreviousVersion := None works)
and that this isn't needed:
import ScalaModulePlugin._
