Please find us ONE reference to a relevant, current *nix standard that 
says environment variables are either secret, suitable for secrets, 
private or the system is expected to treat them as such.

Breaking news.. no such requirement or even suggestion exists, 
environment variables just work this way. No need to be so stubborn when 
the world does not work the way you want to..just find a different 
proper solution to fix the problem.
