Am I understanding what this change does correctly?
It does not really fix the "CRLF problem". Instead it just strips every
\r that it finds regardless of whether the \r is before a \n, right?
If this is right and you can do this level of surgery on bash's buffers
is it harder to detect \r\n because the \n may not be in the current
buffer so you don't know when to strip a \r at the end of the buffer?
