That depends on what IFS contains at the time that code is evaluated. 
With the default value of $' \t\n\0', it would be equivalent with the 
output that qpdf currently gives me, with other values or if qpdf starts 
to output several lines of code in future versions, it will likely fail 
in interesting ways and may run random commands.
