Scan all running processes for nonstandard environment variable names that lack an underscore.

Because non-prefixed names are likely to collide with other applications.

Best when run as root.

Allowlist industry standard legacy names like C/C++ library and header include, PATH, HOME, IFS, etc.

Note that it's a rather long, probably unmaintainable list of existing environment variables.
