I was thinking of (let ((process-environment (cons FOO process-environment)))

Yes, the argument made sense.  I think we had better try to stick to only
one such notion.  Since we already have the notion of terminal, we should
just stick with it.  We will probably want to define that we can have two
different "pty1" terminals (corresponding to two different emacclient
sessions).  I think it'd be more difficult to do the same with machine:0.0
displays, but if we want and can do that, I don't see why I'd oppose it.
