Set channel priority in environment.yml

[mdeff]

It would be great for channel_priority to be specified along channels in an environment.yml.

name: myproj
channels:
  - conda-forge
  - defaults
channel_priority: flexible
dependencies:
  - python=3.5

That'd be useful to install an environment.yml created with flexible on a system where strict is the default (in .condarc or a future version of conda).

Any updates on this?
I would have a package which cannot be installed otherwise (ensembl-vep=99).
