Exactly, and maybe the answer to my question is obvious, but right now, it feels a lot saner to me to make consuming environment-sensitive options a thing that you have to opt into explicitly — it’ll just be a matter of asking for the environment — than it does for the environment to just magically be there

fwiw: the environment will definitely already be there in 98% of cases. an environment is required to run a process, fetch a binary tool, etc
