Agreed, but this is entirely another can of worm. why are we using the
ASCIi control codes for carriage return, or line feed, to separate
lines? Shouldn't we use instead ASCII control code RS (Record Separator,
0x1e) or ISO-8859 (ECMA-048) control code NEL (Next Line, 0x85)? or the
new unicode LS (Line Separator, 0x2028), or is it PS (Paragraph
Separator, 0x2029)?
At least in GUI, when you input some text in a text field, this problem
doesn't occur: you click on the "OK" button :-)
