I don't do anything special for line endings, which is the same thing
that ASDF doesn't do currently. People who want portable code should
probably assume the Unix LF convention, but whatever works now will
keep working and whatever doesn't will keep not working. If we find
that extending ASDF enables more people to share more code, we'll do
it. But I have no such plan for now.

Same here, though most are MCL-specific and going away.
