Environment variables are always strings.  There is no other
possibility.  Non the less arrays are the best choice for use *inside*
one script.

I would not advise the use of aliases inside scripts.  Functions are
more powerful and less error prone (less quoting issues).  From the bash
man page:

(The fish shell for example does not imlement aliases at all, only
functions.)
