/// return value indicates a failure, this function will return
/// [`ClearEnvError`].
///
/// On platforms where libc does not provide `clearenv()`, a fallback
/// implementation will be used that iterates over all environment variables and
/// removes them one-by-one.
///
/// # Safety
///
/// This function is not threadsafe and can cause undefined behavior in
/// combination with `std::env` or other program components that access the
/// environment. See, for example, the discussion on `std::env::remove_var`; this
/// function is a case of an "inherently unsafe non-threadsafe API" dealing with
/// the environment.
///
///  The caller must ensure no other threads access the process environment while
///  this function executes and that no raw pointers to an element of libc's
///  `environ` is currently held. The latter is not an issue if the only other
///  environment access in the program is via `std::env`, but the requirement on
///  thread safety must still be upheld.
