You're right, strip() wasn't a good example, and I
withdraw it.

However, there's a big difference between being a
whitespace character and being a line break character.
Programs that currently deal with FF and VT chars
would have their behaviour changed, because they
would suddenly start seeing lines broken in unexpected
(to them) places, and getting lines that don't end
with \n which aren't at the end of the file.
