The glibc code in question consciously chooses not to output quotes, but I
don't know why. It really doesn't matter.

Rich, Any thoughts on why this would be the case? I can't see anything in POSIX
that would require no quotes around say LANG, but glibc consciously calls some
internal functions to print with the dquote flag set to false.
