It's pointless - you can just chdir in your code for the same effect.

Nice out of context quoting - the documentation says "similar to", not "as
if you had started it with system".
The fact that you get the terminal object in the current process makes it,
of course, explicitly clear that it is in the current process, or that
some extremely complicated IPC is being used, as you can access and modify
the local variables and call functions.
In either case, it's not relevant where the terminal is being opened as
long as the API stays as documented, right?
The urxvt reference is not a programming tutorial, you need to learn
common sense programming elsewhere, this does not belong in a reference
manual.

If you think that as "current environment", why is it so hard to use it?

The point was that the default value doesn't exist, so you would have to
remove it?
