Comment out the default environment vars in .env when createing a new coldbox app
Description
The default template when using "coldbox create app" in Commandbox generates a .env file that sets some "live" default environment variables.
This causes an issue when trying to set the environment setting in Coldbox.cfc
i.e. enviroments = { development = "localhost,^127\.0\.0\.1" }
as it will always default to what is set in the .env file and not detect the development environment.
Can the "example" variables be commented out by default in the .env file when download the template?

I think this has been done, but it is actually part of a different repo than Commandbox.

I agree with modifying the comment. I would also comment out the environments struct by default and point people to the environment variable.

Ok, so if the ENVIRONMENT variable stays uncommented in the .env file then there is the following problem in Coldbox.cfc. Namely environment detection doesn’t work out of the box:
Perhaps we could modify the above comment to state that the environment setting in the .env file will override any setting added here?

I disagree with commenting them out. The defaults will never be right for everyone, but I think it is a better default to point to environment variables as the environment detection via urls has some subtle problems when used inside container environments.
