Keep new lines in commands?

[sigmaSd]

Currently commands seems to not keep new lines in string literals, the workaround is to use quotes inside, is this by design ?

import { $ } from "./mod.ts";

await $`echo hello
world`; // the new line here becomes a space
console.log("------------------------------");
await $`echo "hello\nworld"`;

result

hello world
------------------------------
hello
world

Yeah, that's by design. The first command is passing two arguments (["hello", "world"]) and the second is passing one (["hello\world"]). I think it's similar to how echo hello world outputs hello world.
