Description:
'declare -p' adds backslash (\) in front of newline. When this
is fed back, the newline disappears. Should this happen?
Repeat-By:
0 node1:~$ a='11
> 22'
0 node1:~$ declare -p a
declare -- a="11\
22"
'declare -p' supposed to print stuffs that can be fed back. So,
when it is fed back, the newline disappears.
0 node1:~$ declare b="11\
> 22"
0 node1:~$ declare -p b
declare -- b="1122"
