I vote for:

#cr and #lf just put this character in the stream.

#newLine put the underlying OS line ending.

This is consisten also with String>>expandMacrosWithArguments:

<r> -> cr

<l> -> lf

<n> -> OSPlatform current lineEnding

Hi guys

While writing pillar code, I ended up using "stream cr" and it worries
me to still expand usage
of a pattern I would like to remove.

Let us imagine that we would like to prepare the migration from cr.
I was thinking that we could replace cr invocation by newLine so that
after newLine
could be redefined as

Stream >> newLine
�� self nextPutAll: OSPlatform current lineEnding

what do you think about this approach?
