The envvar method is too inconvenient. %s might be acceptable; people mainly discussed how to implement it. Let's compare these two methods in terms of desirability as features. I believe that the method I proposed offers the least deviation from the current syntax. What method is that? Is it one of the two I described above, or something else?
