I understand this. However you should retain compatibility with the system
as it exists. Similarly, your programs should use AmigaDOS keyword argument
handling rather than UNIX -option style, and they should work properly under
the Workbench and CLI as well as RogueStartup.

If Getenv returns a different value depending on whether the program is
started from RogueStartup and CLI that's a bad thing.

Also people are more likely to use it today.
