This was discussed recently and someone mentioned that one case in 
which you might want to legitimately have LF characters in a method is 
when writing a test related to LF characters.

However, I'd think that this is rare enough that it would be fine to 
disallow LF characters in source string literals, and if someone really 
needs them for something such as a test, they can do this sort of 
thing:

'My text... ', (String with: Character lf), ' more text...'
