    Then what is the difference between PHP_EOL and forcing \n?  It's
still going to use POSIX-style EOLs, but now you've taken away the
benefit of the compatibility.

    You may want to check again.  Ever see ^M at the end of your
lines?  Or, in vim, notice how it says it's a DOS file?

    Nothing you've suggested is necessarily bad, but more to the
point, it doesn't come close to invalidating the benefit of PHP_EOL.
