What should $VIEW("ENVIRONMENT") return when base call is from the simpleAPI #176

Final Release Note

Description

This is possible if an update is done that drives a trigger and the trigger wants to know its environment for whatever reason. Currently this returns "MUMPS,CALLIN", which isn't quite correct but it's in the right ballpark. This may be satisfactory or we may want to be more specific.

Draft Release Note

Depends on whether the close this without doing it or not.

Thanks, leave it the way it is for now. For the future, it may be worth adding an Issue (post r1.10) it to report the executable file name, ("mumps", "mupip", "a.out", etc. as the first piece of $view("environment")). But low priority as I think our future is more with C applications than M applications.
