No problem.

It would be really nice if it was changed:

- It's a lot quicker to write \n than .newline, even on a Scandinavian keyboard
where \ is Alt Gr-+. :-)

- It's especially annoying when you have stuff like
'Stdout("foo").newline.print("bar")', where you have to use .print. You can't do
'Stdout("foo\nbar")' because \n isn't \r\n on Windows, and you can't use
'Stdout("foo").newline("bar")' because newline doesn't take arguments.

- Replacing Stdout("foo bar") to use a newline instead of a space requires a lot
of typing.

Any particular reason why you didn't see a reason to change it then, and do now?
