Well. This is not implemented like that in Pharo. cr is bad because it does not mean that it is independent of the platform. So cr can be redefined as newLine and keep but not used inside the system. Stef On Fri, Aug 4, 2017 at 12:50 PM, Jan Vrany <jan.vrany@fit.cvut.cz> wrote:

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?
Why not? But please keep #cr.
Section 5.9.4.1 of ANSI reads:
Message: cr
Synopsis Writes an end-of-line sequence to the receiver.
Definition: <puttableStream> A sequence of character objects that constitute the implementation- defined end-of-line sequence is added to the receiver in the same manner as if the message #nextPutAll: was sent to the receiver with an argument string whose elements are the sequence of characters.
Return Value UNSPECIFIED Errors It is erroneous if any element of the end-of-line sequence is an object that does not conform to the receiver's sequence value type .
