I'm not sure why I have to search FOR multiple \n and replace WITH the

endings). Hmmm, I never thought about that discrepancy before. [...]
It may be vi-compatible, but it's one of those "Vim quirks" which one
has to know: in Vim, to replace a line break by itself, you use :s/\n/\r
-- i.e., search for \n to find a line break, insert \r to add a line break.
Don't ask me why.
