Your pint is well taken but, seing you asked ;-), a wrokable rulle seems to be.

- Any contiguous group of CR or LF caharcters is taken a s single EOL.

This may break some visual formatting but seems liable to work for
code compilation.

Vertical tab or form feed can be given rules which also do not "break"
compilation.

The present problems seemed to arose froman isolated CR NOT being
ddemd to be an EOL at all.
Some systems may allow it as of right, but I'd consider that strange.
