It is kind of implicit based on the operating system, and the software you are
using. I don't think a fact is a good way to deal with this - not least
because using it would be kind of awkward:
<pre>
[whatever]${endofline}foo=bar${endofline}baz=quux${endofline}
</pre>
At the least, in the current form it isn't going to be acceptable - though,
obviously, it can go in a module to make it available if folks do need it.
If someone has a compelling use-case for this we can revisit the decision, but
mostly I think it isn't a good bet.
