Does openrc-run (or the old way) support adding to strings? I.e.:

====
modules+=" foo"
modules+=" bar"
====

or must one use

====
modules="${modules} foo"
modules="${modules} bar"
====

or must it even be one single string? Does that support embedded
linebreaks?

I think this should be documented better in the file.

PS: I've had the opposite problem: modules automatically got loaded
    and I blacklisted them in /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf ;)
