I've just noticed this (clunky) piece of code https://github.com/coq/coq/blob/master/lib/envars.ml#L69 which is called to pre-process the argument to AddLoadPath but also DeclareMLModule.

Is this documented? Can I use it to make backward compatible overlays for #15220?

It seem to let me write Declare ML Module "$FOO" and get the value of FOO from the environment...

we just need to put $COQ_VERSION in the environment, then people can Load "foo_$COQ_VERSION" to get version dependent code

Anyway, it would help me only in one case, so it is not a life changer... we well keep it for a trivia night

git history says it's from https://github.com/coq/coq/commit/f9261830d886bf08599921d42539d8651437303f
actually no
