Readln returns a string which contains the line terminator.
Is there a grand reason for this?Currently there are a few drawbacks with this. The naive user doesn't expect it, and the seasoned user has to keep stripping it. And then he has to search the docs (or get hold of other OSs) to determine what terminator to expect on other systems.
And it can't really be a speed optimization either, because to do anything useful with a string, you have to strip the terminator anyway at some point.
