It is given pairs of arguments, the first being a shell variable and the

assignments commands for each present value. In a shell script it should be
used like:
verb(
OPTS="-f"
RES=`apt-config shell OPTS MyApp::Options`
eval $RES
)
This will set the shell environment variable $OPTS to the value of
MyApp::Options with a default of -f.
enddit()
