IMHO a single character line-end of LF (line feed) makes more sense than a
CR (carriage return). They both date back to when type writers, TTYs and
printers actually had carriages. A carriage return, returned the carriage,
allowing to over type/print the line, like for underlining. A line feed
made a new line. If we are to drop one of these two (stop using CR, LF -
and I think we should when/where we can) then we should keep LF and drop
CR.
