It would be good to include that information in the manual. I only
see this in the man page:
K Produces a possibly-quoted version of the value of param‐
eter, except that it prints the values of indexed and as‐
sociative arrays as a sequence of quoted key-value pairs
(see Arrays above).
The reader is left wondering whether it's eval-safe.
Also, I don't see the lower-case k transformation in the man page.
