The vast majority of tools nowadays work just fine with \r\n or \ (barring
minor unsightlinesses like ^M at the end of each line in emacs). So why all
the trouble to fix/normalize/canonicalize the newlines? The only tool i use
which actively complains about them anymore is fossil. In fact, that very
feature really got on my nerves a couple days ago - i was working with
3rd-party java code, typed in a commit, and left the PC. A few hours later
i came back and fossil was still sitting there at the "accept CRNL?"
prompt. (Then i finally  took the trouble to read the docs for "crnl-glob".)
