OK, that's news to me.  But that looks like a bug in sudo.  Asking bash
to change its behavior to work around a bug in some other program seems
like misdirected effort.

unicorn:~$ sudo ~greg/bin/args $'one\ntwo' three
2 args: <one
two> <three>
unicorn:~$ sudo -i ~greg/bin/args $'one\ntwo' three
2 args: <onetwo> <three>

I wonder why it does that.  It's not helpful in any situation I can think
of.  It's certainly not documented in the -i section of the man page.
