| Well.  In that case, where is the DEFSYSTEM coming from?

Wrong question.  The right question is, by what path did it get to the
user?  CRLF line endings easily arise from a migration through a
Windows system.  It sure happens to me often enough, though (or
perhaps because) I shun Windows whenever possible.  Also some network
protocols insist on CRLF endings, and use of a broken client could
retain those endings.

Hmmm.  I presume you mean, it should discard the CR from a CRLF inside
a string constant?  Sounds reasonable to me, if the spec doesn't
forbid it.
