 I haven't had time to review your patch in detail, but I think the below
 can actually addressed:

 quotes (which is optional, but possible) :[[BR]]
 >

 > Defaults env_keep = "TEST"[[BR]]
 >

 > /files/etc/sudoers/Defaults/env_keep[[BR]]
 > /files/etc/sudoers/Defaults/env_keep/var[1] = "\"TEST\""[[BR]]
 >
 >
 > If we add a second variable to this env_keep, we will get :[[BR]]
 > /files/etc/sudoers/Defaults/env_keep[[BR]]
 > /files/etc/sudoers/Defaults/env_keep/var[1] = "\"TEST\""[[BR]]
 > /files/etc/sudoers/Defaults/env_keep/var[2] = "TEST2"[[BR]]
 >
 > which fails to save because "\"TEST\"" is only an acceptable value if
 you have only one variable. [[BR]]

 You can write a lens l = l1 | l2, where l1 covers the single-element case,
 and l2 the more-than-one element case; even though 'get' might use l1,
 'put' can use l2 when a second 'var' node is added.

 In pseudo-notation that hopefully gets the point across, it would look
 something like
 {{{
   let var = label "var" . store one_env_var_re
   let l1 = [ del /"?/ "" . var . del /"?/ "" ]
   let l2 = [ del /"/ "\"" . var ] . [ del / */ " " . var ]* . [ var . del
 /"/ "\"" ]
 }}}
