This is the correct way, in my opinion.  The user of libcurl is supposed
to handle environment variable lookup.

This idea has been around for a pretty long time.  I don=E2=80=99t really l=
ike
it, but it would solve so many problems where users of libcurl don=E2=80=99=
t do
env var lookups and fall back to the default, which is not guaranteed to
exist when using Guix on foreign distros or even on Guix System.
