Of course you shouldn't use it if you or any programme in your system produces environment variables with names `ENV01' ... `ENV99' . However, I discovered today that you shouldn't use it if you or any programme in your system produces environment variables with names ***ending*** in `ENV01' ... `ENV99' . I haven't time to refine the string search immediately, so I can't include a revision. The risk is probably slight, but I think you should know.
