That idea originated in the context op adding an 'extra' to the
default value of export_environment, or addind map that I forgot
to include in the proxy_read_maps default value.

For example,

    export_environment .= { NAME = value }

would result in 

    export_environment = TZ MAIL_CONFIG { LANG NAME=value }

But that won't work if we also want the following to work.

Matus UHLAR - fantomas:
> submission inet n       -       y       -       -       smtpd
>    -o syslog_name.=/submission
> relay     unix  -       -       y       -       -       smtp
>    -o syslog_name.=/$service_name

If we support that, the export_environment result will look like

    export_environment = TZ MAIL_CONFIG LANGNAME=value

which is not what we want.

It can be fixed by requiring a comma when appending to a list:

    export_environment .= , { NAME = value }

would result in

    export_environment = TZ MAIL_CONFIG LANG, { NAME = value }

This is more explicit, and a little less user friendly.
