it doesnt seem to set any npm_package_* variables or respect .npmrc which are both things i need

i can manually set NODE_OPTIONS each time or read the package.json manually but that's so annoying why can't things just work

500ms startup time is much more annoying than it sounds like when you have to rerun a single script over and over to test it (and it takes another 500ms itself because im parsing 10mb of data)
