This is certainly not a stupid idea, rather something on similar lines
has been discussed previously in this thread.
Tom has suggested something similar, but I am not sure if there was a
conclusion on that point. Please see the
relavant discussion at below link:

I think the basic question at that time was why should we consider an
environment variable more safe.
