That is probably because I was thinking in terms of "do we know that we need to add a CR?"; if I read "needs_cr" in my head as "we might want to add a CR", everything becomes much more clear, but perhaps it is just me. The return value of this function is definitely "do we need and want to add a CR", and it is appropriately named.
