Hello Ikumi,

Yes, you are correct in your assumptions regarding my configuration. In
fact, I am using straight.el (2nd github link you found). While I agree
that this issue is not strictly a bug, it is inconvenient for users who
automate the git package pulling process from many repositories (such as
straight.el users). If acceptable, I would request that the relaxed coding
setting is used (without the "-unix"), especially since the autocrlf
setting is very commonly used on windows (default in fact).

To put this case in perspective, I have almost 100 different emacs package
repositories that are automatically pulled down using git and this is
literally the only emacs lisp file among the complete set that has this
issue.

By the way, I have tested on my end and I can confirm that simply removing
the "-unix" from the coding and rebuilding resolves any issue.

Thank you,
Matt
