Comment(by GregWeber):
To give you some more background on the use case, I am running a script.
One of the commands needs an addition to its path. At this point I don't
know how to write the program without shelling out to the "env" command
instead of the command I really want to run.
If I want the current behavior I just don't set the PATH, and as the
documentation states, I will inherit the environment of the current
process. If I go to the trouble of setting an environment variable, it is
because I do want it to be used. If there is an exception to the rule it
should be documented.
So if we fix the documentation (which I am willing to do), how to I change
the PATH in a thread-safe way?
