However, according to the unsetenv() manpage:

  Prior to glibc 2.2.2, unsetenv() was prototyped as returning void;
  more recent glibc versions follow the POSIX.1-compliant prototype
  shown in the SYNOPSIS.

So it is POSIX to return an int, but that gives us at least one
platform where unsetenv() returns void (or used to). glibc 2.2.2 is
2001-era, so that may be old enough that we don't care. But it makes
me wonder if other older or obscure platforms will run into this.
Ahh, OK.  Well, we will hear from them soon enough.  It is not like this is
anything urgent.
Well... maybe for some of us 😉
Heh, but we all know you are capable of locally patching ;-).
