Let me clarify. There is no reason for std::env to be dragged down by UNIX, it could be its own, modern, safe thing with the Unix API living in std::pet_cemetary or some comparably clear namespace for people who have to pass runtime information to a C library through absolutely unsafe ways. Environment variables are usefull, the unix limitations make them less so.
