I can't find any documentation regarding this property, what does it do, what is it for?

If you're curious, this is the code: https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/blob/099d19fa30a4f876ca69aa201dcd7f3e75a5af1e/src/FSharp.Build/Microsoft.FSharp.NetSdk.targets#L60-L95

It's a short-hand for work a type provider author would have to do in making sure that package paths are set up correctly and that they contain the right references to make the compiler load the type provider.
