IMHO it should be that way. Because text files generally do have
the final '\n', but lines don't have a final space. Spaces are word
separators, '\n' are line terminators.
When I map each line of the file, I don't expect dealing with a final
empty line.
unlines a ++ unlines b = unlines (a++b)

writeFile "foo" (unlines listOfLines)
Using putStrLn here would be less convenient.
