Feature scope

Configuration (settings parsing, validation, etc.)

Description

Namely in the system database.

Back when environments where implemented that option was discussed. I think we could still refactor the underlying implementation such that the Meltano environment is a feature of the settings store, instead of separate store altogether. That way, the environments key is such feature for meltano.yml, the system db would add a new column to support it, and some stores would never support it (shell env, .env).
