I use an editor (emacs) that considers the end-of-line to be a byte among others. > I consider this sloppy and error prone. If any editor, emacs is smart, but it generally doesn't insert characters on its own.

For sure, any file reader must think the situation through. Note, for example, that CPython doesn't require the source code file to end in a newline.
