Yes, if the installer directly sets an environment variable, then the setting
should be specific to the installed version, such as PYTHONUTF8_310-32.
Maybe this could be implemented more generally by supporting a
"PYTHONX_{py_version_short_plat}" environment variable that contains a list of
-X implementation-specific boolean options to enable by default, e.g. set
"PYTHONX_3.10-32=utf8;dev". In POSIX, name it "PYTHONX_{py_version_short}". In
Windows, "{py_version_short_plat}" would be sys.winver.
