But it would not be really symmetric. The -r for "env import" makes "env import" eat both formats, which means it can be used almost always, but using -r with "env export" would be a decision which always would be wrong for many people.
Of course, adding the possibility to export the environment in a system-foreign format (Assuming nobody boots windows using u-boot) doesn't really make a harm, it just adds the danger that people will use -r for "env export" because it is used for "env import" too, which most likely would be wrong for most usage scenarios.
Anyway, I don't have any other objections agains a -r for "env export", maybe it could be added to the TODO-list which contains documentation for "env *" too. ;)
My slow brain (therefor this second message) now suggests to add e.g. a -w to "env export", where the -w would be mutually exclusive to -t. This would make it clear that it doesn't mean the same as '-t -r' for env import and that using -w means a decision which might be wrong.
