Because the hooks are shell scripts, this still makes sense.
However, I could use env(1) to export the environment, but then
variables would not be quoted correctly for shells.

With env
classless_static_routes=0.0.0.0/0 10.73.2.1
env doesn't care about how shell variables are called so it will export
