Thanks for including this rationale; my first thought on seeing the
patch was "wouldn't this be much more convenient for a hook if each
value had its own environment variable?".

Putting the data into a file does alleviate some issues. But it also
makes parsing annoying, and opens up new issues (like what happens
to content that has a newline in it?). Wouldn't multiple files be a bit
more convenient? Especially for your example of eventually carrying
larger binary content like images.
