   * Returns the boolean value of the environment declaration [name].
   *
   * The boolean value of the declaration is `true` if the declared value is

   * In all other cases, including when there is no declaration for `name`,
   * the result is the [defaultValue].

   *     : (const String.fromEnvironment(name) == "false")

   * ```dart
   * const loggingFlag = const bool.fromEnvironment("logging");

   * [String.fromEnvironment] constructor directly:
   * ```dart
   * const isLoggingOn = (const String.fromEnvironment("logging") == "on");
