I don't personally love shell quoting as an interchange mechanism; I'd
prefer something like URI-encoding, which is a bit more standardized and
easier to reason about from a security perspective.  But if we decide to
change it, it doesn't matter, since it's still undocumented and this
would be the only acceptable way to pass config through the environment.

Surely.  

I am kind-of surprised that nobody has brought up json or yaml ;-)
