CRLF is an example of the poorest naming in the library so far. CR LF literally mean \r\n, not anything else, no matter what OS you are on. The ASCII chart will show CR and LF as simple those two characters. This is not a DOS/Windows convention but that is THE definition of CR and LF. Instead of calling it CRLF, why not rename it to EOL end of line? That is what it is used for, after all. How should we define EOL for OSX? Shouldn't it be CR?
