Windows does *not* dictate the line endings to be CR/LF. Certain applications do. The shell is an MSys2 shell, and MSys2 convention is to use LF. Hence the shell is done correctly for the platform. Yet on Windows (and in cross-platform projects also on Linux and MacOSX), you have to deal with the fact that text files produced outside the cozy little shell can have different line endings. As I said, I am uninterested in arguing for arguing's sake. Otherwise I would shoot down your argument that LF in IFS "does not hurt" but CR somehow magically does. I am sure it would be a helluva discussion and fun. But I do not have the time. What I really needed you to do indicate the way forward. The patch you provided in the mail I am replying to fails to fix the bug.
