So the central question is: Which shoud be the default, the HC model which alters the data or the SC model that doesn't?
Personally, I prefer the idea that a request for something without added instructions should get everything that's asked for, intact and unaltered. Adding additional elements to the read request is what I'd prefer to cause 'custom' behaviour in the data acquisition, such as massaging to suit certain formats and uses.
But in spite of my own initial tantrum I've come to appreciate the flexibility, and since most of my reads are with text files I love the platform-independence granted by having the default option take care of line endings without having to think about it.
A good point. But I still feel that simpler requests should get simpler results - 'simple' meaning without extra things happening to what you're getting. When deeper involvement is needed, ask the engine for it. :-)
Thoughts?
