In the example above, the line is counterintuitive for me. I imagine a line
in text files as a sequence of one or more characters, displayed within a
single horizontal sequence. I would prefer the short name *recSep* or
*recordSeparator* for long name. I guess when the option will be used, it will
separate text not by new line chars like `'\n'`, `'\r\n'`.
