This way there a chance to occasionally add some commands between export
and exec lines. This may result in accessing wrong files in these commands
because of libREV.

Yeah, this is acceptable, but I prefer to have 'exec' word in beginning of line
to make scripts ease to read/understand.


Anyway. Why you dislike `env -i` so much to invent all these alternatives? :)
For me `env` is good small program which doing it small task good enough:
    env - run a program in a modified environment
In my ./run I need to 'run a program in a modified environment' so I've
used `env`. What's wrong with this?
