Yes, that's also common (at least those programs aren't broken by the
change). Other programs checking for "t": tcsh, Maude, zsh. For easy
optional backwards compatibility, what do you think about making the
new behaviour depend on a variable like "emacs-environment-variable"
with possible values 'path (use path; default) and t (old behaviour)?
