"A physical line ends in whatever the current platform's convention
is for terminating lines. On Unix, this is the ASCII LF (linefeed)
character. On Windows, it is the ASCII sequence CR LF (return
followed by linefeed). On Macintosh, it is the ASCII CR (return)
character."
And yet simple tests show that normal scripts run on Unix-like
platforms regardless of whether their lines end in LF, CRLF, or CR.
