No.  That's been completely taken out of context, and that's
dangerous.  Do NOT mince my reply to fit your own concept.  That
paragraph above, attributed to me, was about having disparate howtos,
and what have you, where the original documentation -- the man page --
should just be updated instead.  It has NOTHING to do with your own
bee-in-the-bonnet problem of SetEnv.
