echo $FOO not working (even with -x --use-shell)

[yatharth]

npx env-cmd -x --use-shell 'echo $FOO' doesn’t seem to be working, even with version 10.1.0 which added support for -x.

Based on #93 (comment), I would have expected it to work.

Even the official example in the README doesn’t work.

Create hello.js with contents:

console.log(process.argv)

Create .env with contents:

FOO=foo

Then run npx env-cmd -x node hello.js.

Result:

It appears some attempt at substitution is being made, either by npm or by env-cmd.

I'm running into this as well. @yatharth you haven't found a workaround, have you?
