How can we do that without incurring non-trivial maintenance costs?
'env' is being actively developed; e.g., the old version I have where
I'm typing this doesn't even have the -S option.  Are we supposed to
track every new command-line option added to 'env', and update our
code accordingly?  That is even impractical, because someone could use
2-year old Emacs with Coreutils released just yesterday.
