I don't think we should do this.  If you have text files with CR-LF
line endings, then please use external tools (like dos2unix) to filter
these and bring them into the appropriate format.

I would like to put as little restrictions on the content of an
environment variable as possible.  I can see valid use for strings
that contain a CR character.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
