This is unwarranted.  Many other low-level libraries use envvars.  HarfBuzz
and glib are examples.  On systems that don't support them, we just:

#define getenv(name) NULL

That's very widespread.  To categorically reject envvars, in exchange for
properties (that need code modifications), is not well-reasoned IMO.
