Oh, why? Don't know. I'll investigate this.

That's beeing worked on, I'll silence it in
all that testing/listing modes (except -bV).

BTW the warning above indicates that you don't have the latest version,
as in the latest version add_environment isn't suggested as a solution
anymore (and isn't a solution anymore, only keep_environment is counted
as an indication that "you got it".)
