Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by examining the existing .env loading implementation and its public API, then define the expected dumping behavior and output format before checking how it should be tested.

Description

I took a cursory glance through the code and it looks like the library supports loading files but not writing them back out. Would you be interested in that contribution? I need to write it for $JOB and would prefer it lives here.

Thanks in advance!
