It's ancient.

It was just an example.  You cannot seriously expect the unix world to
accept /r/n as a newline everywhere, let alone generate it.

Yes there is.  The code already has special magic to guess at CRLF (and a
flag to turn it off), but it is only enabled on DOS systems.  This is not
an accident, it's a conscious decision by the maintainers of grep.

Note that you not only need to get grep "fixed", but countless millions
of other unix programs.  Well, you could get a lot of them in one go by
getting a "fix" like this into glibc -- good luck with that!
