--- Comment #10 from Nick Sabalausky <bus_dbugzi...@semitwist.com> --- As already said before, windows notepad is the *only program that doesn't handle it (which makes it very *unlike* '/' if indeed "many programs" fail to deal with properly - which is an exaggeration anyway, but that's beside the point). If I'm wrong and \n is indeed poorly supported on Windows, then it should be a simple matter to go ahead and name other examples. Contrast that to the "\r\r\n" that D code is demonstrably prone to emitting on Windows, which is handled correctly by little, if anything, on any OS. The safer behavior is clear, and the consensus of the discussion was the same. Stubborn clingage to false information and misplaced fears is not befitting of D. --
