May be stated, but it is very wrong! I guess:

     s = s ~ '\n';
versus
     if ((str[$-1] == '\n') || (str[$-1] == '\r')) {
         str = str[0..$-1];
         if ((str[$-1] == '\n') || (str[$-1] == '\r')) {
             str = str[0..$-1];
         }
     }

And it's not what programmers want in most cases, anyway. Actually, when does 
one need it?
