If you're using printf(), '\n' works as expected. Regarding your other
suggestions: There is already a common interpretation what \r and \n do, and
the big brother of conio (the conio from the old Borland DOS compilers),
handles it identical as cc65. Changing it would confuse people who are used to
the original conio.
