I think I'm coming to the same conclusion. I would like one token
contribution to "theoretical purity", though: whatever EOL munging style you
choose, please make it a module, not an intrinsic part of the main program.
The reason I suggest this is that newline is not the only case of source
transformation which people may want; for example, C++ source code could be
deformatted and reformatted, or project files/makefiles could be converted
to and from standard XML build specs, or who knows what.
