Description: Make temp buffers inherit buffer-local environment variables
 Environment variables in Emacs can be set buffer-locally, like many
 Emacs preferences, which allows users to have different buffer-local
 paths for executables in different projects, specified by a
 ".dir-locals.el" file or via a "direnv" integration like
 envrc (see https://github.com/purcell/envrc).
 .
 However, there's a fairly common pitfall when Emacs libraries run
 background processes on behalf of a user: many such libraries run
 processes in temporary buffers that do not inherit the calling
 buffer's environment.  This can result in executables not being found,
 or the wrong versions of executables being picked up.
 .
 An example is the Emacs built-in command
 `shell-command-to-string'.  Whatever buffer-local `process-environment'
 (or `exec-path') the user has set, that command will always use the
 Emacs-wide default.  This is *specified* behaviour, but not *expected*
 or *helpful*.
 .
 `inheritenv' provides a couple of tools for dealing with this
 issue:
 .
 1. Library authors can wrap code that plans to execute processes in
 temporary buffers with the `inheritenv' macro.
 2. End users can modify commands like `shell-command-to-string' using
 the `inheritenv-add-advice' macro.
