CRLF is logical from the point of you of teletype printers, but when
we speak about text files then it is more logical to consider them as
a list of lines. What particular symbol is used as line-separator does
not really matter, but IMHO it is stupid to have two symbols for that.
So, LF vs CR is matter of preferences, but CRLF is just stupid -;)
