I think the worst is how it handles multi-line data structures like

         $newnode->command_ok(
             [
                 'psql', '-X',
                 '-v',   'ON_ERROR_STOP=1',
                 '-c',   $upcmds,
                 '-d',   $oldnode->connstr($updb),
             ],
             "ran version adaptation commands for database $updb");

or

         $node->command_fails_like(
             [
                 'pg_basebackup',   '-D',
                 "$tempdir/backup", '--compress',
                 $cft->[0]
             ],
             qr/$cfail/,
             'client ' . $cft->[2]);

Perhaps that is included in the upcoming changes you are referring to?
