[New-bugs-announce] [issue36966] Export __VENV_PROMPT__ as environment variable

[Lysandros Nikolaou]

New submission from Lysandros Nikolaou <lisandrosnik at gmail.com>:

For those, who use custom tools for their terminals, prepending __VENV_PROMPT__ to PS1 doesn't really help all that much, because it gets overwritten by those tools. Would it make sense to export __VENV_PROMPT__ as an environment variable upon activation, so that these tools can make use of it, in order to edit PS1 accordingly?
