I tried that on GNU/Linux, and indeed it does work.  The `ls' command
lists the file as "multi?line?file", where the question marks represent
the newlines.

Unfortunately, dired doesn't work with those files.  Here's a
"screenshot":

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The listing itself is ok, I'd say.  But hitting RET on "multi" says
"File no longer exists; type `g' to update dired buffer", and RET on
"line" or "file" say "No file on this line".

Well, not really a problem, though...
