I could well imagine we might want other types of output format
in the future (CSV, YAML, XML, etc). So instead of --print-env,
I think we should go for  '--output [plain|env|...]' which allows
for future expansion. Default to plain text output if omitted
of course. Or perhaps name it '--output-format' or just '--format'

Daniel
