 A Windows user rerported using Data.Text.IO.writeFile to write out quasi-
 quoted text.

 writeFile automatically translates '\r' to "\r\n", so the user ended up
 writing out "\r\r\n" to a file.

 Haskell seems to be adopting the policy or removing '\r' from Haskell
 land. Is there any reason why quasi-quotes should not automatically strip
 carriage returns?

 I asked this question on ghc-users and there was no response.

 I am willing to make this fix if it is deemed appropriate.
