This, which is IMO *still* a non-problem in the sense of it should
absolutely not be the compiler's duty to babysit and/or police line
people's *line endings*, would not even be "solved" by IncludeString as it
would still then depend on exactly how an editor *saves* the line endings.
That's exactly the advantage of IncludeString : You don't need to care about the
line ending of the sources. It can differ from those in the strings, which
is going to be a tad difficult in an editor such as lazarus - or most editors
in fact
- as they will change the line endings uniformly for the whole file...
