'\n' can be two characters outside of POSIX, see "man fopen". ----- It would feel good to use CRLF to bash Windows once again. Isn't ridiculous and painful to have two characters for only one thing? Unfortunately CRLF pre-dates Windows by decades. You can argue it is older and more standard than LF. For instance many internet protocols use it. Now I wonder how come a third convention emerged. Just to "think different"?
