Hey Dinesh,

I guess we may as well start using this list. :)

There is no built-in way to delete an environment, since it would
require synchronizing its closure across all processes that have it
open. Instead just do something like:

    import shutil

    path = env.path()
    env.close()
    shutil.rmtree(path)
