Editing a file like that with a text editor is a right pain. Inserting these characters isn't all that straight-forward, and everything will be on a single line. In theory RS could be treated as a newline, which will only add to the li

Look, I get where you're coming from. It's not unreasonable. I've said this before. But there are also reasons why things are the way they are, and that is also not unreasonable. And at the end of the day: Linus is the boss.
