On Windows, environment variable names are case insensitive:

```

NV['Path']"                                                                =

```

However, with `ENV.replace`, if you don't use the "canonical casing" (as gi=
ven by `ENV.keys`, for example), the environment variable will be cleared.

```
PS C:\Users\deivi> ruby -e "puts ENV['Path']; ENV.replace('PATH' =3D> 'foo'=
); puts ENV['Path']"                                                       =
                                                                           =
               C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\W=

```

This is unexpected to me.
