To date, rust-config supports injecting environment variables into a configuration with the following syntax:
if LOG_LEVEL is not set, then the configuration will set it to a value of "", or an empty string. The potential for further syntax to specify a default value would, in my opinion, greatly increase the utility of this functionality. For example, being able to specify a default log level of "warning" and change that with an environment to "debug" would be a handy thing to have.
This patch supports that functionality with the following syntax:
Now, when the program is invoked without the LOG_LEVEL environment variable set
the program will read a value of "warning", but if the environment variable is set
the program will read a value of "debug" instead.
This default value is strictly optional, and simply omitting the "(default)" section is permitted and the library will fall back to it's built in defaults.
