That sounds useful (and I think we should improve Emacs's core to better
support such features; we already have some ad-hoc
frame-local-environment support and it would be good to make that less
ad-hoc).
The default value for `buffer-env-command` is a gaping security hole, tho.
Any hope we can make this a bit less dangerous?
Stefan
