I want to get the user’s computer name, how can I get the user computer name?

With JSX i used to use something like `$.getenv('computername')`, is it something similar in UXP?

Thanks!

Also looking for machine name. Feels like it should belong under `os` or `process` but not seeing it in either place yet…

If you use a Hybrid Plugin you could get it via CLI for now. ( [Bolt UXP](https://hyperbrew.co/resources/bolt-uxp/) comes with one ready to go with `execSync()` )
