Yeah, FWIW I absolutely hated "env_array" when I added it, but didn't
want to do the transition all at once, so needed another name. So I
would be happy to see it become "env" now. ;)

Turning "args" into "argv" is less important, just because the name is
less long and ugly. And since "argv" is both the concept of the arg list
and also the well-known main() parameter with a different type, arguably
using it for a type besides "const char **" could be confusing (though I
don't find it so personally).
