[ghc-steering-committee] Please review #680: Clarify CRLF behavior in multiline strings (amendment to #569)

[Arnaud Spiwack]

Sebastian,

As the shepherd you're expected to motivate your decision (typically with a
summary of the proposal) to guide us toward a collective decision.

For the record, in this case, the change is that all characters considered
as `newline` by the report (\r, \n, and a couple others) from the file's
text are replaced by a single `\n` in a multiline string. This isn't what
the current implementation does, if I understand correctly. But GHC 9.12
isn't released, and I think that Brandon considers the current
implementation to be a bug, because his motivation for the design is to
match what `unline . line` does.

I have absolutely no opinion on whether keeping \r\n or converting to \n is
preferable. So I'm happy to defer to Sebastian.
