Description
There are apparently times where msbuild will go on its own to resolve assemblies disregarding the hintpath attribute.
In this issue while not related for 100% sure, @jaredpar mentions that it would be best to have the qualified names specified in the *proj files:
https://github.com/fsprojects/VisualFSharpPowerTools/pull/1437#discussion_r71092002
It would be a good measure to be able qualifiednames: on (or similar) in a group and have paket write them in the project files despite it feels strange that msbuild would pick another assembly, it is likely to improve the chances of proper error reporting.

Define the setting's scope and confirm that enabling it causes qualified assembly names to be written in the relevant project files, with error reporting remaining the intended benefit.
