Maybe we could update our environment locally and forget about it. This might be useful for other contexts as well. Now it might be difficult, if not impossible, for some people, so if passing the variable through an explicit assignment is expected to work as well, the change would remain of interest IMO, just removing a dependency on a particular environment setup.
