By the time they figure out what ^M is "carriage return" and ^J is
"newline" and that there's a difference between the two, and what is
that difference, and how it relates to the EOL-convention used under
various systems, they'll be just as unlikely to be confused by (Mac)
or (DOS) or (Unix).
The current behavior is pretty close to optimal, I think. And things
like CR, LF, ^M, ^J are just non-starters AFAIC.
