That was how the patch was written but it could easily be changed if the
core team will just say what would be acceptable.  Do you want a new option
variable that can be used by multiple functions to pay attention to or
ignore invisible newlines with a default that would be the same as things
work now?  Or would you like just an optional flag for sort-lines that
outline modes could use to minimize any change?  Then we can move on to
other things.
