Comment (by goldfire):

 I'm not convinced the normalizing is something GHC should do. The quasi-
 quoter could easily do this. Maybe a quasi-quoter wants, for some
 inscrutable reason, to tell the difference between LF and CRLF. (Perhaps
 to warn a user about a bad newline encoding. But I admit this possibility
 is a stretch.) If GHC normalizes, then quasi-quoters have lost this
 ability. On the other hand, it's dead easy for a quasi-quoter to do this
 itself.

 If you feel strongly, I could see the benefit of having a
 `normaliseLineEndings :: String -> String` available in
 `Language.Haskell.TH.Quote` but even that seems a little special-cased.
 And I'm certainly in favor of making this louder in the documentation.
