YES! It's always annoyed me that the Mac (seemingly without
good reason) complains about sources with \n line endings.
I have often shuttled code between Mac and Unix systems
during development, and having to do \r/\n translations
every time is a royal pain.

I'd vote for building it right into the interpreter! Is
there any reason why anyone would want *not* to have it?
