The feature request for merging environment variables defined in environment.yaml files as well the dependencies.

Conda environment.yaml spec allows us to add environment variables as well. When merging multiple environment files, these would ideally also be present in the result.

name: myenv
dependencies:
    - pip=23
    - python=3.10
variables:
  PIP_EDITABLE_MODE: strict

for example.
