If it were to be documented in the SBCL Info manual, then it
likely belongs in the chapter section "Supported External
Formats".

In Emacs, this expression displays that section:

   (info "(sbcl) Supported External Formats")

As of SBCL 2.5.10, there is no mention of :newline or :crlf
in that section.
