I think it is a search path since both
`TEXMF=3D/gnu/store/gb4y83bvcpkvdmz0dvi9rp507kbdbr5x-texlive-texmf-2015
context --version` and
`TEXMF=3D/gnu/store/gb4y83bvcpkvdmz0dvi9rp507kbdbr5x-texlive-texmf-2015/sha=
re
context --version` works. But otherwise, I don't know how environment
variables in texlive works. I see there are other environmental
variables as well. For instance, TEXINPUTS, TEXMFLOCAL and TEXMFHOME.
But only TEXMF and TEXMFHOME works.
