Description Davide Cavalca 2020-06-18 15:51:46 UTC 
https://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/conf_ref.html#repo-variables documents the use of substitution variables like DNF_VAR_foo, but it doesn't mention numeric variables (like DNF0 / DNF1) at all. The only actual mention I found is in https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/blob/c438466a239175fc4ad61b7607d80378a56b7b3f/tests/conf/test_substitutions.py

For reference, the substitutions logic is here: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/blob/c438466a239175fc4ad61b7607d80378a56b7b3f/dnf/conf/substitutions.py
