Research direction
Examine the existing implementation of the environment variable HIE HOOGLE DATABASE introduced in issue #887. Identify the command line argument parsing module in the codebase (likely using optparse applicative or similar). Add a new command line option that overrides the environment variable. Ensure consistency with existing options and update documentation.
