 Try this on Windows
 {{{
 module Foo where
   f x = x
 }}}
 and now
 {{{
 ghc -c -dverbose-core2core Foo.hs 2> foo
 }}}
 Now edit `foo`.  You'll see that
 * Some lines, produced by monadic IO, I think, have CRLF endings (`^M^J`).
 * But others, produced by `pprTrace` (actually `Simplify.hs` line 220,
 only have a LF ending (`^J`).

 The inconsistent line endings confuses emacs, which displays `^M` at the
 end of all the CRLF lines (ie most of them).  This is Jolly Annoying.
 John Wiegley has made me a special SPJ-only emacs mimor mode that
 suppresses the annoying `^M` stuff, but that seems like extreme measures.

 Question: why doesn't `pprTrace` properly terminate its lines?
