Ability to create lists in Env

What would you like to see changed/added?

The ability to create lists, similar to Path, easily cross-platform, like this:

env:
  - name: USERNAMES
    value: |
      dylan
      steve
      bob ross

# Windows
$Env:USERNAMES = "dylan;steve;bob ross"
# Linux
$Env:USERNAMES = "dylan:steve:boss ross"

Or, with an optional delimeter parameter:

env:
  - name: USERNAMES
    value: |
      dylan
      steve
      bob ross
    delimeter: ","

$Env:USERNAMES = "dylan,steve,bob ross"

@RuiNtD there's no such thing though. Environment variables are always strings, this is a very specific use-case where I fail to see the use-case for as it assumes you're actually having different env var logic in an application per platform.

[RuiNtD]

There are many applications that take lists of strings, usually paths and usually for configuration, in an ENV like how the OS does with Path. It would just be nice to be able to format them in multiple rows instead of just one.

Implementing this is actually feasible, I would allow the delimiter to be templatable though.

[RuiNtD]

I mean, I did mention a delimiter option in the original post. Lol

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@RuiNtD I know, and upon re-read I went with that option.
