If the goal of `var_export` is *only* to have some machine-readable output, the
following will do it:
<?php
function my_var_export(mixed $x): string {
$serialized = \base64_encode(\serialize($x));
return "\\unserialize(\\base64_decode('$serialized'))";
}
?>
In reality, the output of `var_export()` is *both* machine-readable and
human-readable.
