Based on this description, the switching is done by setting some flag in local configuration. Is there a way to set the configuration through an environment variable? Having only "global" configuration (in the sense of a single setting for a user) is going to make testing much harder, and also it doesn't work for the case of multiple programs being started independently when those programs require a different backend.
To answer myself: $FLEXIBLAS envvar can be set. Maybe add to the description?
