With Posix, you have environment variables stored in a __gshared global.  
Providing a local range on that data isn't a good idea.  Windows provides the 
function GetEnvironmentStrings, which returns a memory block allocated to hold 
all the environment variables.  You must call FreeEnvironmentStrings to free 
the 
memory.

These are the only ways to iterate variables.  If you want individual variables 
for which you already know the names, there are functions for that, but Lars' 
code implements those through individual functions, not toAA.

The only way I could see it done better is to have a type that allows setting 
of 
the variables when you assign to the AA.  But you still need to copy the data.
