Here's what we do:
(defglobal ?*CR* = (call (new java.lang.Character 13) toString))
(defglobal ?*LF* = (call (new java.lang.Character 10) toString))
(defglobal ?*TAB* = (call (new java.lang.Character 9) toString))
(defglobal ?*CRLF* = (str-cat ?*CR* ?*LF*))
Then use (str-cat) a lot.
(format nil (str-cat "foo bar" ?*CRLF*))
If anyone has an easier way, please let me know!
