Usually a down-vote there is something that can go wrong if the feature is
implemented. Simply not personally having a use for said feature normally
results in a "+0" vote or something similar.

The big issue with environment variables is their ability to have resolution
conflicts. I think the general idea has merit though setting symbolic-links
(in Linux variants at least) can get you some of the way there in a less
error-prone (but more verbose) way.

Ultimately feature requests get made to here then end up on the ToDo listing
if the idea has traction.
