Subject: bug#44412: RFE for 'env'?
Date: Tue, 03 Nov 2020 01:14:06 -0800

I wanted to pass a switch to an interp line, but 'env' seems to dislike it.

I also noticed that env ignores '--' to indicate end of switches that it 
should
process.

How difficult would this be to do? Specifically,
allow double-dash ("--") to indicate the end of 'env' switches such
that any following arguments would be passed to program to be run?

I was surprised when I found out it didn't do this.

Thanks!
