Description

Currently we only parse the metadata, but we could easily add some parsers for `.cabal` files and `preferred-versions` files; if we did, then we could complete the `IndexFile` definition.

Research direction

Locate the IndexFile definition and the existing metadata parser first. Then inspect how .cabal and preferred-versions files are represented in the index and extend parsing so the IndexFile definition is complete. Done means both file types are parsed consistently with the existing metadata.
