Hmm, no, it seems like my standard setup has snuck in a !env_reset in
there somewhere. With that removed, the environment is indeed a lot
cleaner (~similar to what I got with sudo -i). It still leaks
XAUTHORITY, HOSTNAME, DISPLAY, TZ, LANG, which is annoying, but it's
less of a problem than what I claimed.
