 The following options control variable scope:
-- -l or --local forces the specified environment variable to be given a scope that is local to the current block, even if a variable with the given name exists and is non-local
-- -g or --global causes the specified environment variable to be given a global scope. Non-global variables disappear when the block they belong to ends
-- -U or --universal causes the specified environment variable to be given a universal scope. If this option is supplied, the variable will be shared between all the current users fish instances on the current computer, and will be preserved across restarts of the shell.

 - -n or --names List only the names of all defined variables, not their value
-- -u or --unexport causes the specified environment not to be exported to child processes
-- -x or --export causes the specified environment variable to be exported to child processes
+- -x or --export causes the specified shell variable to be exported to child processes (making it an "environment variable")
+- -u or --unexport causes the specified shell variable to NOT be exported to child processes
 
 The following options are available:
-- -e or --erase causes the specified environment variable to be erased
+- -e or --erase causes the specified shell variable to be erased
 - -q or --query test if the specified variable names are defined. Does not output anything, but the builtins exit status is the number of variables specified that were not defined.
 - -L or --long do not abbreviate long values when printing set variables
