Linea meaning wrapping, i.e., copying consequtive buffer locations without 
regard to line boundaries. Both block and linear copies are useful, and it's 
nice to have both.

without regard to line endings? No, I don't think so. You could certainly
use your favorite stream-oriented editor to remove the line endings.
