I would avoid using eval for this, since the goal is merely to split
a string. fish already splits output by newlines (as if IFS=\n), so

is sufficient to mimic IFS=\n\ \t
Why? eval will fully interpret the output, expanding variables and
executing su
This is because fish only separates output on newline characters, rather
than using bash's curious IFS scheme. The solution? Replace your desired
field separators with newlines, which fish will then happily split.

No. I'm pretty sure you have the right understanding.

https://gitorious.org/fish-shell indicates that the website for fish is
fishshell.org, which should be changed to fishshell.com for the time being.
If development for fish is going to remain on gitorious, I'll update the
