Why isn't "set" good enough for that?

        (set -o posix; set) | sed 's/=.*$//' | whatever_processes_them

You need posix mode, so bash doesn't dump functions as well (which IMO
it shouldn't do with set, ever, but has probably been doing it since
prehistoric times, and somewhere, there's probably 1 user depending upon it...)
