Earlier I had assumed you meant 

function pushenv(env)
 setmetatable(env, { __index = <<some magic to do getenv()>> })
 return env
end

Otherwise you'd need a way to get the current environment in cases where you just want to make some local dynamic bindings that you want unwound, for example, 

in pushenv {print_level = WARNINGS} do ... end
