Description
Several imaginable features of iiasa/actions/setup-conda are not implemented in the initial version (#2):
- [ ] Cache the downloaded installer. This could be done by converting the action to JavaScript/TypeScript, which would allow use of GH-provided tools like [`@actions/tool-cache`](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/tool-cache).
- [ ] File an upstream bug/investigate why versions of Anaconda3 after 2019.03 fail to install successfully on Windows.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing iiasa/actions/setup-conda implementation and the initial-version discussion in issue #2. Investigate how the downloaded installer is handled, assess caching with GitHub-provided tooling, and reproduce the post-2019.03 Anaconda3 installation failure on Windows. Done means the installer is cached and the Windows failure is either fixed or documented upstream.
