Oh so I guess this is an improvement.  :-)

Something beyond --search-paths and etc/profile, right?  I’m not sure
what it would look like.

Thanks for your feedback David & Ricardo!

Hello,

This new option allows to specify additional variables to be inherited
in a “pure” (semi-pure?) environment.

The main motivation was the use of the SLURM batch scheduler, which
defines environment variables that you need to preserve so that things
like ‘mpirun’ work correctly.

Thoughts?

Ludo’.

  environment: Add '--inherit'.
