...for CMake variables, this is true, and I already knew that. I'm not 
sure how much sense applying it to *environment* variables makes, 
however, as I believe those are traditionally all-caps.

I'm anti-ascii. Probably because I once worked with a guy who sent EVERY 
BLOODY DESIGN SCHEMA as an ascii art thing. A year into that job and I 
just about wanted to punch him in the head with an ascii fist. He 
totally ruined ascii porn for me even. -- Aaron Seigo
