Hmm. So after thinking on this, I realized we don't have to do the
clean-up ourselves at all, if we simply operate in a subshell. That
means that any shell functions we call couldn't mutate the state, but
that's probably an acceptable compromise, if the goal is to behave like
env except for being able to call shell functions.
Here is the "final" version of the more complicated scheme I came up
with. That I think should be fairly portable, but the subshell thing is
probably way less gross.
