>Communicating arguments though env vars is very ad-hoc, an option



I still haven't understood the case against using

environment variables.  In what way are they "ad hoc"?

They are pretty standardly used to communicate options to

'make', for example.



It's just about the same effort to write



    MYARG=blah pandoc --filter foo



as to write



    pandoc -filter foo --filter-args blah



And an added advantage of environment variables is that

you can set them once and then not have to repeat.
