Yes but in the olden days you could set the CrLfFileStream as the default and work that way. This is no longer supported 

Maybe we need a CrLfMultiByteFileStream to allow that old way of doing things?  I would really like to Not have to force everything that I code to force it to use encilodings - especially if it is odd like CrLf - you probably wouldn't like that showing up in the middle of tools someday.

MultiByteFileStream can convert line endings if you tell them that you want it to, otherwise it'll behave like the old StandardFileStream.
