Is the concern about copying the bytes? Not sure I follow this either.
A fixup hook ordered to run later than ssl_hook_Fixup will always have
access to the SSL_* vars if +StdEnvVars is configured; such a hook can
avoid copying from bytes from r->subprocess_env if it wants, I suppose.
Or are you worried that's not really a concrete API on which you can
depend?
Generally it is better to *avoid* using +StdEnvVars because it forces
generation of all the variables (slow and expensive), and use
ssl_var_lookup to generate only those variables you really need.
