An algorithm that eats CR as well as CR/LF as well as LF isn't that difficult.
vim's quite good at auto-recognition, and Java also eats CR/LF just as well
as LF on Windows as well as UNIX (haven't tested CR with Java yet, I'm not
curious about this, CR will die anyway).

It already does.

Quite the same.
Regardless of the platform, an editor should be configurable, even if it's on
UNIX, where I'd want to be able to edit CR/LF files perfectly well. (In my
sense of perfectly a command line option or runtime setting is just fine)
