  Better allow bare CRs, too; that's what Macintoshes use.  And LF<NUL>CRs
and similar combinations, probably; I've seen them used elsewhere.

  In an 'pure ASCII' environment, any number of CRs and NULs, so long as
adjacent to a single LF, appear to be the same thing, and should be
probably considered a single line terminator.
