+To retrieve an environment variable with the option of providing a default value in case the variable does not exist,
+use the `fromOrDefault` method.
+
+If the environment variable is not found, the method will return the provided default value instead of throwing an
+exception.

 ### Conversions
 
 Once you have an instance of the environment variable, you can convert its value into various types.
