I also think you are missing a point. The stdio library (or it's
returns "\n" for the native line endings.
The un-RFCed stdio replacement (sfio or a perl home grown one) might
do the same.
So... The correct line ending is "\n", you are adding an other
line ending for the non-native version.
I'd claim that this is closer to the IO layer rather than another
pragma.
