Should the entire environment passed to dhclient be available to dhclient-script?

Feature.   dhclient builds its own environment before invoking any  
scripts, so as to avoid the possibility of passing random goo to the  
client script.   If you want to add something to the script  
environment, use the -e flag: dhclient ... -e IF_METRIC=1, for example.

I see that this is not mentioned in the man page.   Sigh.   This  
would be my fault, not David's.   :'(
