name_servers isn't special with this, so I reject the change.

The DESCRIPTION section says this:

The resolvconf.conf file is a shell script that is sourced by resolvconf(8),
meaning that resolvconf.conf must contain valid shell commands.  Listed
below are the standard resolvconf.conf variables that may be set.  If the
values contain whitespace, wildcards or other special shell characters,
ensure they are quoted and escaped correctly.  See the replace variable
for an example on quoting.

Maybe it needs an extra sentence just before the end:
Multiple values should be space separated and quoted.
