This was my bad, yes. And I'm trying to fix it now.

My preference was not to keep it, because of reasons listed earlier.
But if it needed to do so, I'd like to break things once again. At
this moment setvar looks like:

        setvar dev var val

And before it was:

        setvar [devt] var=val

So, to keep setvar compatible it would be better to write it as:

        setvar [dev|devt] var=val

This will simplify parser and makes it more consistent. As before,
I'm sure it's worth to break things again (and apply modified patch
from misc/36232)

Any objections?
