Why would ignoring CR lead to problems? It has nothing to do with line feeding on any system released in the last quarter of a century.

If you’re targeting iMacs or the Commodore 64, then sure, it’s something to be mindful of. But I’d wager you’d have bigger compatibility problems before you even get to line endings.

Is there some other edge cases regarding CR that I’ve missed? Or are you thinking ultra defensively (from a security standpoint)?

That said, I do like your suggestion of treating CR like LF where the schema isn’t sensitive to line numbering. Unfortunately for my use case, line numbering does matter somewhat. So would be good to understand if I have a ticking time bomb
