Subject: Re: Does Ruby need a "line separator" class?

In this particular case, could 
java.lang.System.getProperty("line.separator") be used to handle 
platform-specific reading/writing?  That way, you get to piggyback on 
the multiplatform support built into Java.  If the low-level I/O code is 
centralized, it seems like this would be the way to go.

Are there performance implications for this approach?  Seems like you 
could just grab all of the system specific newline properties from the 
System object upon the initialization of the JRuby interpreter and just 
refer to them later.
