Wow, thanks for the condescending and arrogant comment! I'm not suggesting there should be a 'tutorial' about any of those things you mentioned. However the docs at the moment are IMO a bit ambiguous about this point - it just says "An object containing the user environment. See environ(7)." I didn't realise immediately that this is talking about the OS environment variables - I'm sure I'm not the only one.
