portable-lines

Provides an alternative implementation of the Prelude.lines function that treats the following sequences as newline characters: "\r\n" (Windows style) "\r" (Macintosh style, before OS X) "\n" (Unix style) Haskell's IO system supports both platform-specific line ending conversion (by opening the file in "text mode"), and explicit setting of the newline mode for input and output (see System.IO.hSetNewlineMode). However: If you don't know the line ending format in advance, you would have to open the file and detect the newline format manually. ByteString currently honors neither of these; see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6837628.
