      While reviewing some things in the CloudBees support queue I found an interesting ticket where somebody was using steps inside of the environment directive. I thought: SURELY THAT'S WRONG.

      But, uh, it works sometimes?

      pipeline {
          agent any
          environment {
              TONE = pwd()
              
          }
          stages {
              stage('At the tone') {
                  steps {
                      sh 'printenv | grep -i tone'
                  }
              }
          }
      }
