	Would it be horribly difficult to change the syntax from:

		run $(which variable) command

	to:

		run `which variable` command

	(or even

		`which variable` command &

	) pretty please? The closer to the real UNIX shell the better.

And:

Why not avoid putenv/getenv altogether and just read and write "env:name"?
