It seems than objects can be stored in an environment object with or
without a key (put for the latter, open/Create/close for the former).
Still, it seems objects can be retrieved afterwards only using their key
(item feature), hence losing access to the others (e.g., objects
inserted during creation on an open environment).

Isn't there a way to access these objects ? A particularly useful
feature would be the conterpart to count: a feature returning the list
of stored objects matching a type...

I may also have skipped some point. Solution appreciated.
