+1 (a no-brainer, in my opinion) --- although you can get rid of unsetEnv if you make setEnv take a "Maybe String", which might be better. Ultimately though, who cares what color the bike shed is painted :)<br><br>

Hi,<br>
setting environment variables is possible on both POSIX and Windows<br>
systems. Currently this functionally is missing from<br>
System.Environment; the "unix" package provides an implementation for<br>
POSIX systems.<br>
<br>
I propose to add setEnv/unsetEnv to System.Environment, so that it is<br>
easier to write applications that behave the same on POSIX and Windows<br>
systems.<br>
<br>
I implemented both in a way, so that they behave exactly the same on<br>
POSIX and Windows (modulo case sensitivity on Windows).<br>
<br>
For now I prepared a standalone implementation [1] and corresponding<br>
tests [2]. That implementation depends on the "unix" package. If the<br>
proposal is accepted, I will prepare a patch against "base" that<br>
includes the relevant code from "unix".<br>
