Configuration files are like parents’ advice - carefully thought out, well-intentioned, but often overwritten by the ‘environment variables’ of real life experiences!

I have this tool, which is used in a few different environments, so I gave it a “xxx config” command which tells which config files were read, which environment variables were used, which environment variables from the tool’s XXX_ namespace are unknown, what configuration values are effective etc.

I don’t think anyone ever used that function.
