They +might work fine, but there's a high chance that somewhere, something goes wrong +and you start to lose bytes or get undefined behaviour. + +Also, since shells 'flatten' the input when using eval, newlines in variable +values will be stored correctly, but silently dropped when loading the +environment with eval.
