Squeak 3.4: should we change to CrLfFileStream as default?

There is often discussion here about line-ending related problems. I 
know that some of us have the habit of changing our concrete file 
stream class to CrLfFileStream by changing 
FileStream>>ConcreteStream.

The last time I did this was long ago, and I found some problems with 
that which needed minor fixes. I posted a change set that fixed them. 
See http://swiki.gsug.org:8080/sqfixes/986.html for this post. But 
that was back in 2.9alpha days; 

Perhaps CrLfFileStream needs to be renamed more accurately, as well 
(as Doug suggested).

I'm working on a change set that will again fix the various problems 
that come with changing the concreteFileStream to CrLfFileStream.

Thoughts?
