+Allow final value to be used outside the configuration context

+You may use the ``environ_name`` parameter to allow a :class:`~Value` to be
+directly converted to its final value for use outside of the configuration
+context::
+
+    >>> type(values.Value([]))
+    <class 'configurations.values.Value'>

+This can also be achieved when using ``environ=False`` and providing a
