I don't mind either way (env feature or new program).

"trap" will get mixed-up with the shell's built-in command.
How about "untrap" (because the goal is to undo the 'trap' command),
and also there's no "untrap" executable name in debian, so no name 
conflicts?

will send an updated patch later today.
