Summary

Start-Process has a new -Environment parameter allowing specifying specific environment variables to the child process. Existing env vars get replaced with exception of PATH where on Unix it gets replaced (although pwsh will always prefix PATH with $PSHOME on start) and on Windows, the value is in front, but Machine and User PATH gets appended.
