Someone please show me an example of Extra Raw and how it must be used.
The 'extra raw' I think is Jim having a bit of a joke.
Yep. Actually, that should have been Extra Rare, not Extra Raw. 
But. I take Jim seriously!
I makes me think that not removing CR from a string produces a half-baked string.
Microsoft just copied CP/M and ended up with CR+LF (which is explained in turn by teletype machines, DEC, and typewriters.)
But a "line ending" is a newline which is /n. It makes sense that all line endings result in the same character even if the source is CR+LF or just LF. If "raw string" means raw text input to the Euphoria text format understanding a character string should come easier.
The problem comes from expecting a string data-type and expecting that raw means preserving the text you input exactly.
