fwiw (as this is again only copied), export with assignment is a
bash-ism
Not according to
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html#export
hmm, it's there since at least SUSv1, aka XPG4v2, in 1994. i didn't
bother digging deeper.
It is true that in our test suite we separate a variable assignment
when exporting. Presumably that is because someone reported that their
shell did not support the "export name=WORD" syntax in the past.
most likely it's just a historical default, not the result of a specific
bug report. the assumption that it's bash-specific is wide-spread.
As we're already using this syntax with the same docker images in
Github Actions I think we can assume it is safe here.
i guess so. docker seems a tad unlikely to run some ancient bourne
shells ...
