I have received a suggestion to remove checking the environment for the value of a task argument. For example, given:

   task :sample, [:path] do |task, args|
     puts args.path
   end

will print out the value of the environment variable PATH. The requester comments that the feature can cause bugs that are difficult to track down. Upon reviewing his comment, I tend to agree with him.

So, is anyone taking advantage of this feature? Would anyone be upset if we remove it?
