Uhm, from the source code, it seems that 5 results in the standard
null environment, 0 in a new, empty environment, and that any other
code produces an exception. I'm looking at Primitives.java:413.

The addition of the 0 option seems to have been deliberate, hence my
asking if the decision may be reverted in the future.

Thank you,
