Re: persistent but local tweaks to a node's environment

It should do one level depth of substitution only for the variable which is
being set.

so
X="${X} -some-other-flags"
Should yield
X="whatever X was before the above plus -some-other-flags"

(I did a particularly deep dive on the subst logic last year with an eye
towards rewriting)
