Call to action by Richard Hipp, best known as creator of #SQLite, to stop using the carriage-return/linefeed (CRLF) sequence alltogether. Linefeed (LF) is never used as "just a linefeed", we better rename the U+000a character to what it is really used for: Newline (NL). Carriage return (CR) should only be used to overwrite on the same line.
