We can't do this, because we don't know what values in an environment
variable are pathnames and which aren't.

I suppose we could make educated guesses about SOME values, like those
that appear in PATH.  Not sure this is important though.

If this is so we can't do it at all: there's no way we can change them
_back_ again... how could that be done?
