Description
jinja2-cli renders \n in variable expansion as literal $'\n' instead of a line feed.
As this is a breaking change, recommend querying an environment variable to control the behavior. A major version bump would allow that behavior to become the default.

Research direction
No file or test is named in the issue. Start by tracing jinja2-cli's variable-expansion path and how it currently handles escaped newlines, then determine how an environment variable should control the behavior. Done means the requested mode produces line feeds, existing behavior remains considered, and the breaking-change implications are documented or tested.
