25 years and no networking code?
Been writing code for about 12 years, lots and lots of networking code.
Still have never seen this. Don't see your point either.
With HTTP, for example, lines are terminated with \r\n. The lines
themselves (in the header, at least) have constraints on the character
range they allow, so one might want to error on solo \n but break on a
\r\n, etc. Still, I don't know why anyone would use readln() for
processing a network protocol, so perhaps the issue is moot.
