Description
Environment variables are passed differently in Windows and unix systems, so we cannot write scripts easily that run on both platforms. It would be very nice if concurrently would include such functionality, so we don't need to write horrors like
concurrently "cross-env FIRST_ENV=one my-program arg1" cross-env ANOTHER_ENV=two my--other-program arg3
