 According to https://github.com/sol/interpolate/issues/9 the string passed
 to a quasi quoter contains CRLF line endings.  I have observed the same
 things for Haddock comments (both in `haddock` and `doctest` when
 extracted through the GHC API).

 I haven't looked at any GHC code, but wouldn't the right thing be to read
 source files in text mode so that we get newline conversion?  If we don't
 want / can't do that for some reason, then wouldn't we still want to
 handle this somewhere deep down the stack so that not every client has to
 deal with it separately?
