Description
**Describe the bug**
I found variables in the globalenv are not correctly picked up. Not sure if this is on purpose
**Reproduce example**
```r
env <- new.env()
d <- 1
env$a <- function(b){
b + d
}
future::plan("multisession")
f <- future::future({
env$a(1)
})
future::value(f)
#> Error in env$a(1) : object 'd' not found
```
**Expected behavior**
Variable `d` is not picked up by `future::getGlobalsAndPackages`, otherwise the result should be `2`
**Session information**
Please share your session information *after* the error has occurred so that we also see which packages and versions are involved, e.g.
```r
