Just for other outside information. Apparently the Python group has been 
struggling with this issue. I normally don't read about Python, but 
occasionally take a peek. :)

This PEP has been implemented and is in the latest Python.

http://www.python.org/dev/doc/devel/whatsnew/node7.html

Talks about the problem and how they decided to handle it for Python.

Personally, I'm for handling it as elegantly and transparently as 
possible. I think that is what most people will expect. I understand 
Daniel's position. However, Squeak is a high-level environment. 
Low-level options are there, but I believe most people expect intuitive 
responses. I don't expect to open a text document written on the 
platform I'm using Squeak on and Squeak not handle it properly.

This happens on files created by and on the platform OS Squeak is 
running on. No mixed up line endings.

Nevertheless, I do believe Squeak is its own platform and consistency on 
that platform is the most important.

I like the Liberal in Strict out.
