My be we could adopt current Linux convention and prefix variables for
GRUB with grub.foo=xxx (stripping "grub." prefix). I do not know whether
it could have compatibility implications for current code though.

The reasoning is, it would allow overwriting variables very early
without need for scripting that is available only after normal is
loaded.
