I see. I know there are some people here that are very picky
about these things.
Then let me ask you/them this: Would you prefer it was
implemented as a module-level @property function that returns a
singleton class instance instead? In other words, would you have
the same API with slightly worse performance and more complicated
implementation, *just* for the sake of a strict naming convention?
Note that 'environment' (with that name) was added to std.process
years ago. As Jesse mentioned, the fact that it was a class was
just hidden from documentation with an alias. Unfortunately,
this prevented proper documentation of its members, so changed it.
