/**
 * This should only be necessary when you or a package mutates the environment variables.

 * to direct property access. As can be seen in the following benchmark:
 *
 * ```txt
 * property access       500000000  iterations     0  ns/op
 * process.env access      5000000  iterations   246  ns/op
 * ```
