Right.

Ah, are the CRLF line endings the primary feature of this test?

It hasn't occurred to me, but text_file_query probably implies
something about the line endings...

Maybe both should be covered, e.g.

  text_query_crlf_preserved
  text_query_lf_preserved

The first would have to be ignored on Windows, as there's no way of
making that pass with the current Python implementation.

Are we getting closer? :)

Thanks,
