To some, we could have done

        ENV_VAR="$ENV_VAR: some other string" command

but there were uses of "output" shell function in some instances,
and

        VAR=VAL shell_function

does not work, so that was the reason why

        (
                VAR=VAL; export VAR
                shell_function
        )

form was used.
