Yeah, its the 'knowing beforehand' part that makes this dangerous for me. ;)

Cute trick though, will work it into my workflow and see how it feels.

IDK, environment variables get set all of the time, I rarely worry about them breaking programs. Their job is kinda to live in the background and be passed through programs so it doesn't feel like much danger. Especially when I use lowercase and almost all programs use uppercase.

But I guess everyone has a different risk level and what feels near-zero to me is meaningful to someone else.
