> When looking up a password, the {{AliasService}} should be able to consult
> the available set of environment variables as well as a remote source and the
> Gateway credential store.
> TBD: How should the alias name be specified in the Gateway configuration to
> determine that the value is to be found using the environment variables.
> # Specify the name as usual and have the Alias service check the environment
> first then perform the lookup as is done today
> # Specify the name as usual and have the Alias service check the environment
> after performing the lookup as is done today
> # Add some decoration to the alias name so that the AliasService knows to
> look in the environment
