     Is it just me, or are others also peeved that PrintStream
always ends lines with the system's line separator?  IMHO, the
separator should be choosable on a stream-by-stream basis, so
(for example) one could easily write through a PrintStream to
a socket protocol requiring \r\n no matter what the local
system uses.

     Ah, well.  The horse and barn have been nonproximate for
a long time now.
