Description
First of all, I really like the new version 0.12 of config-rs. Thanks for the great work, and continue like that!
I have few cases were I would like to use the following code:
let settings = Config::builder()
// Add in settings from the environment (with a prefix of APP)
// Eg.. `APP_DEBUG=1 ./target/app` would set the `app.debug` key
.add_source(config::Environment::with("APP"))
.build()
.unwrap();
For now, as I can see in the documentation and the examples, there is just an API to retrieve environment variables and this same API removes the current prefix. What I would like is to keep the prefix here.
