[RFC] Allow to fallback to unprefixed environment variable when value not found. was [Question] Using dynaconf, how would I go about getting the well known environment Linux variable "PATH"?

If I just wanted to get the well known environment Linux variable PATH, how should I fetch it using dynaconf?

I tried:

settings.get('PATH', 'Noooope')

and always get Noooope

I am hoping for a behavior similar to os.environ["PATH"] but with all the (optional) dynaconf goodness, if they are present

I think the idea of this issue is to provide an API to get a value from settings and fallback to envvars.

To be implemented.

from dynaconf import Dynaconf

settings = Dynaconf(
	fallback_to_environ=True,
	fallback_to_environ=["PATH", ...],
)

print(settings.PATH)
# if not available on `settings` would fallback to `get_environ` and follow all the dynaconf formatting etc...

Right now the workaround is.

settings.get("PATH", default=settings.get_environ("PATH"))

settings.get_environ("PATH", "Noooper")
