You can argue that if you like, but my point is that on seeing the
examples the natural conclusion is that here is some new syntax I don't
know about, so let me look in the systemd docs for some explanation.
The fact that it's only documented in specific examples makes it much
harder to find. I don't expect the syntax of environment variable
assignments to be explained every time one of them shows up in a man
page.
