The problem is that for CLI programs there isn't a clear definition of what
that environment is, in fact there isn't even a clear distinction between
a program and it's parent. Normally a CLI program is run in the process
context of the CLI...

Takes me back to the problems I had with bad old VMS. This is even worse, since
at least VMS has the excuse that creating a new process is an expensive
proposition.
