Well, POSIX doesn't: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap03.html#tag_03_206 The definition may cause trouble with shell's read - e.g. when reading a file created on Windows with notepad where it is easy to accidentally create an incomplete line (compared to vi where I don't know an easy way).
