Native Windows editors and tools (from notepad.exe on) will create
CRLF text files by default. Even the Emacs port does it.
It's one thing to say that most tools are able to handle both
end-of-line styles, and even that *all tools should*. But pretending
that the convention on Windows is not CRLF is ridiculous.

And the point of a default is helping people by automatically doing
