Defaults for environment variables

[teddywilson]

Are there any plans to add defaults for environment variables?

[rossabaker]

I don't think anyone is working on that. A PR would be welcome.

If anyone picks this up .. please use the shell way for providing defaults

$(SOME_ENV:-"default value")

Don't use the way lightbend-config does it:

basedir = "/whatever/whatever"
basedir = ${?FORCED_BASEDIR}
