So for the most convenient/common case, you want to add an allocation?
with the original proposal there is one anyway...
I meant add an additional allocation to what is there. There needs to be
one allocation to collect all the variables into one long string (on
Windows), and with your suggestion, it has to go through an intermediate
"key=value" format.
But with my suggested approach you could create many processes reusing
the same env... only paying the conversion/allocation cost once(outside
of the loop).
This would be attractive. But I still want a indexable object. Having to
generate a=b strings is awkward.
It could be something that does the right thing on POSIX (generate "a=b"
under the hood) or Windows (Probably can cache the generated environment
string).
