Sure, that's a minimal requirement, but, in the current world of
exchange of files between systems, not relly enough.

Gforth accepts LF, CR, and CRLF as line endings (even different ones
in the same file); we use to rely on the text-file conversion of the C
library, but found that this caused problems, so we changed to the
all-accepting approach, and that change was successful. It also
corresponds to Postel's law (and we satisfy the other half of Postel's
law by outputting newlines as LF in Unix, and as CRLF in Windows).

Which would be more work and less helpful than the approach we have
taken in Gforth.

Evidence for this claim?
