FYI, I'm working on an egg called 'contexts' that builds on top of the
environment egg to provide stackable evaluation contexts (useful for
creating experimental interpreters, among other things). I expect to
upload it this weekend.

Just saying that perhaps this requested feature might be out of scope
for the environments egg, as the environment structure doesn't have a
parent pointer, and the functionality can be easily enough wrapped on
top of it?
