Hey both!
Thank you for your suggestions. Indeed, having a set of environment variables to replace the most used flags can be really helpful. We already have support, as far as I know, for OP_SESSION_<shorthand>, OP_FORMAT and OP_ACCOUNT. OP_ACCOUNT, however, is documented nowhere, so I'm going to open up a ticket for that.
Do you have any other flags that you would like to see with an option to be set via environment variables?
I'm going to also open a ticket for the --iso-timestamps flag, for now, and we can add to that as new ideas arise.
Thank you for giving CLI 2.0 a go, and please keep the good feedback coming!

Best,
Horia
