is it a bug that \e's dont get escaped in declare -p output

[Alex fxmbsw7 Ratchev]

it makes the output no more possible if interpreted by tty
the \e's get processed by terminal and no more .. just an example where it
is so:

var=$'1\e[G\e[K2' ; declare -p var

if G was H for other line then it completly messes the terminal up

isnt it better to escape by \e ? ..
