Could PATH contain newlines?
It is known that a path could contain newlines in any of its components.
Should we conclude then that the environment variable $PATH could contain newlines ?
If so, how to split the $PATH into its elements, similar to (Bourne like):
IFS=':' ; set -f
for var in $PATH
do
echo "<$var>"
done
But if it could be done without changing IFS, even better.
