In addition, the first part of this bit of `environment's doc string is simply a lie: The list is constructed by concatenating the elements of `process-environment' and the 'environment parameter of the selected frame, and removing duplicated and empty values. Unless someone intends to implement what it says before the release, I suggest to remove the first part of this sentence from the doc string.
