I think theres some verbiage to the effect of the current behavior (but applied
to the language text as a whole) Copy/Paste that in there or maybe even just
drop the above quoted all together and I think this can be closed.

That's as good as anything I have though of.


Also, (untested) I think this edit will make it work:

mixin(makeStrReturnFunc("carriageReturn", "\r"));
mixin(makeStrReturnFunc("carriageReturn", r"\r"));

you might need to drop the r in the mixin maker as well.
