Neither of these functions returns `\n'. And `\n' is not an
alternative for a literal newline.
I am not sure what distinction you're making. `\n' is alternative
Lisp syntax for a literal newline. Which one we use in writing a Lisp
string is arbitrary, except when we're talking about print functions
which use one or the other.
