I don't mean this as snark, I'm genuinely interested: do you have a phrase I can search for or a link to that? I don't think I've ever heard that before but I would love to start citing it

Because otherwise, files can contain characters that aren’t on any of its lines.

https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1...:

“3.206 Line

A sequence of zero or more non- <newline> characters plus a terminating <newline> character.”

That’s consistent with:

  > echo test | wc
         1       1       5
  > echo -n test | wc
         0       1       4

Me too. Feels like I have an uphill battle with this at $dayjob. Would be nice with some ammo for the showdowns.
