  // Note that the utility functions in this file are part of the build system
  // core rather than the config module. They define the basic configuration
  // semantics that should be applicable to both transient configurations as
  // well as to other implementations of configuration persistence.
  //
  // The only persistence-specific aspects of this functionality are marking
  // of the variables as to be persisted (saved, potentially with flags),
  // establishing the module saving order (priority), configuration creation
  // (the create meta-operation implementation), as well as configure and
  // disfigure hooks (for example, for second-level configuration). These are
  // accessed through the config module entry points (which are NULL for
  // transient configurations). Note also that the exact interpretation of the
  // save flags and module order depends on the config module implementation
  // (which may ignore them as not applicable). An implementation may also
  // define custom save flags (for example, accessible through the config.save
  // attribute). Such flags should start from 0x100000000.

    // Some notes/suggestions on saving environment variables for tools (e.g.,
    // compilers, etc):
    //
    // 1. We want to save variables that affect the result (e.g., build
    //    output) rather than byproducts (e.g., diagnostics).
    //
    // 2. Environment variables are often poorly documented (and not always in
    //    the ENVIRONMENT section; sometimes they are mentioned together with
    //    the corresponding option). A sensible approach in this case is to
    //    save documented (and perhaps well-known undocumented) variables --
    //    the user can always save additional variables if necessary. The way
    //    to discover undocumented environment variables is to grep the source
    //    code.
    //
    // 3. Sometime environment variables only affect certain modes of a tool.
    //    If such modes are not used, then there is no need to save the
    //    corresponding variables.
    //
    // 4. Finally, there could be environment variables that are incompatible
    //    with what we are doing (e.g., they change the mode of operation or
    //    some such; see GCC's DEPENDENCIES_OUTPUT for example). The two ways
    //    to deal with this is either clear them for each invocation or, if
    //    that's too burdensome and there is no good reason to have the build
    //    system invoked with such variables, detect their presence and fail.
    //    Note that unsetting them for the entire build system process is not
    //    an option since that would be racy.
