Well, if we explicitly _export_ variables in the top directory, it
probably is easiest to explicitly _import_ them again in the preview
file before doing anything else with them.  Then we can just think
about a suitable way of passing the unquoted stuff in a manner that we
can reuse.

Seems like this would be the most transparent and robust way of
dealing with the stuff.
