--- Comment #1 from Philip Hazel <p...@hermes.cam.ac.uk> ---
It's a bit surprising that nobody has mentioned this before. :-) I cannot
remember why it is this way, but I suspect I was not wanting to get too tangled
up with the different line-ending conventions. However, giving it some more
thought and noting that grep adds a newline has convinced me to make a change.
I've just committed a patch that adds a line ending, taking note of the
--newline setting. If anybody is relying on the old behaviour and grumbles, it
will be easy enough to add an option to suppress this.
Philosophical Question: does NL mean "start new line" or "end last line"? I
suppose we treat it as both except at the very end of a file, where it isn't
usually interpreted as introducing an empty line (which it would at the start).
