Looks like they have a mechanism that replaces "\\r\\n" (literally 
backslash, 'r', backslash, 'n') and lone occurrences of "\\r" and "\\n" 
with a single \n newline character.

I have no idea why they would do that. It's obviously nonsense. It also 
breaks stuff like this:

   writeln("\\n");
   writeln(`\n`);

The mechanism does not seem to mess with other equivalent escape 
sequences, like \x0D and \x0A, or \u000D and \u000A.
