// The following types are supported:
//   - int (any kind)
//   - float (any kind)
//   - bool
//   - string
//   - [time.Duration]
//   - [encoding.TextUnmarshaler]

// See the [strconv].Parse* functions for the parsing rules.
// User-defined types can be used by implementing the [encoding.TextUnmarshaler] interface.
//
// Nested struct of any depth level are supported,
// allowing grouping of related environment variables.
// If a nested struct has the optional `env:"PREFIX"` tag,
// the environment variables declared by its fields are prefixed with PREFIX.
//
// Default values can be specified using the `default:"VALUE"` struct tag.
//
// The name of an environment variable can be followed by comma-separated options:
//   - required: marks the environment variable as required
//   - expand: expands the value of the environment variable using [os.Expand]
