--- Comment #4 from David Strauss <david at davidstrauss.net> ---
I'm not convinced this is a bug. systemd-run's --setenv option is documented to
correspond to setting Environment= in the transient unit file. This means it
uses the same syntax [1], too.

Given that you're trying to assign a value with spaces, I believe you want
this:
systemd-run --setenv '"a=b c"' true

Your suggestion would change the effect of multiple settings, which we support
in cases like this:
systemd-run --setenv 'a=b c=d' true

With strv_join(), it would be:
Environment=a=b c=d

With strv_join_quoted(), it would be:
Environment="a=b c=d"

So, strv_join_quoted() would result in, I think, $a being set to "b c=d".

If I'm wrong about breaking multiple environment settings, please re-open, and
I'll take another look.
