I tried to follow the instructions on how to build and test this library, but Cabal sandboxes no longer exist on newer versions. What is the recommended way to do this today?

It's clearly time for an update. And I need to un-break cabal repl. Things are mostly fairly normal. cabal build and cabal test and cabal bench. Are you running into issues?

Just that I have to go into the respective subdirectories instead of running them at the top-level. Thanks!

Oops, my mind slipped. You can (and generally should) do it from the top: cabal build containers, but cabal test containers-tests and cabal bench containers-tests. You're totally right that CONTRIBUTING needs fixing....
