If somebody manages to corrupt the EAPI with an invalid value containing
space, then you can get a bash syntax error there if ${EAPI} is
unquoted. Yeah, it's a user error, but it could confuse them even more
than they are already if they see the syntax error and think that
portage is at fault. Also, we might consider that a corrupt EAPI can
come from a binary package (or /var/db/pkg) enviroment.bz2, and so it
may not even be the current user who is at fault.
