That's useful but not secure. For instance I need my Amazon S3 keys in environment variables; I wouldn't want them to be passed to all the commands I run, only the ones that talk to S3.

I requested the account; could you or someone else do the feature request meanwhile? I'm also not sure how the syntax would look. Maybe the environment should be just a slist of "A=b" parameters?
