IIUC the first diff removed '/' from the characters allowed in an
environment variable, so that one can run env(1) and a program whose
name contains '='...  I've never seen such a program name.

I think this is not env(1)'s job to tell which letters can be put in
a environment variable name; other env(1) implementations don't seem to
care at all.

btw, in ksh

  FOO=bar BAZ=quuz ./your=program

works around the "no '=' in program name" rule; I seriously doubt this
is a concern though.
