 > How does !WordPress know how to restore the original line endings...

 And what are the original line endings anyways? Most core files have `\n`
 EOLs, seems many plugins have `\r\n` EOL and themes generally have `\n`
 EOL (depending on the OS preferences of the authors).

 Thinking we should standardize on either one or the other. A good criteria
 would probably be to determine on which platform non-native EOLs would
 cause more problems. i.e. Notepad on Windows vs. TextEdit on MacOS. As far
 as I can see TextEdit "understands" `\r\n` EOLs and Notepad doesn't
 understand `\n`, so `\r\n` seems as the proper default.
