Didn't A5 or E5 say that C<\n> was going to match sequences like C<\x0d\x0a> so that file formats that treat this as EOL would be supported natively? Was this a mistake? If it's not a mistake, then is there a way to minimally match "the first end-of-line character, regardless of what follows it (even if it's another end-of-line character)? That was the crux of my question. On the union operator stuff, thanks; I'd forgotten about that.
