Command newline from simple.el has the following comment:
;; FIXME: For non-interactive uses, many calls actually just want
;; (insert "\n"), so maybe we should do just that, so as to avoid
;; the risk of filling or running abbrevs unexpectedly.
IIRC in earlier times, on windows for example an additional "\r" was
required.
Then using (newline) instead of simply (insert "\n") was recommended.
This would not help anymore.
Just to bring it to your attention,
Andreas

The internal representation of a newline in Emacs is and always has been
"\n". The external representation is controlled by the buffer's coding
system, and doesn't come into play until you save the buffer.

That must have been before Emacs's times.

I was certainly the case in the 90s that Windows used \n\r to indicate
newline. That's why Emacs had ...-windows coding systems that
translated \n in the buffer into \n\r in the file.
