It outputs text which is sourced by the shell.

Ah ok, there's a further explanation in this message post: https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=8335820 I can't just replace all colons by spaces because a non-path variable might have a colon in it, or is that not allowed? I don't think modules differentiates between normal variables and path variables which makes things more difficult (impossible?).
