This isn't what I meant, but I guess it's the same so maybe I didn't think
this through as much as I thought I had !

Still, is the concern relevant for single-user systems ? Like containers
for instance ? Plus, should we really discourage the use of environment
variables altogether just because *some* systems allow unprivileged users
to access others processes environment variables ? I'm really curious about
this.

Thanks for your consideration anyway !
