Well, the point behind having hidden variables is that the source code which needs to use
a hidden variable can just call _do_setenv() (or whatever) and have it set an environment
variable that is hidden. My preference would be that any variable that starts with a dot
(.) is hidden. That way, the source code doesn't really need to have a separate list. It
just names its variables with a dot. The rest is automatic.
