We just added this switch in 16, so I think backpatching to keep all
the branches consistent is a good idea.

However ... I don't like the patch much.  It seems to have left
the code in a rather random state.  Why, for example, didn't you
keep all the code that constructs the "newline" value together?
I'm also unconvinced by the removal of the "assume there's only
one match" break --- if we need to support multiple matches
I doubt that's sufficient.
