Description of the new feature / enhancement

The following environment variables will be treated as "list" environment variables like "PATH":

  • _NT_SYMBOL_PATH
  • _NT_ALT_SYMBOL_PATH
  • _NT_SYMCACHE_PATH

These are also semi-colon delimited lists.

Scenario when this would be used?

Editing environment variables via the "Environment Variables" tool.

Supporting information

Windows Debugger paths are documented as being semi-colon delimited. The _NT_SYMCACHE_PATH is used by WPA, and it also documented as being semi-colon delimited.

I would be able to contribute this change.
The change would be to add these to the list in the IsList method of Variable.cs
