Naked CR is an almost (baring legacy Mac OS) universally supported cross-platform way to print progress bars on CRT terminals.

Note that I said that it would make sense a CRLF command too, as in: in addition to separate CR and LF commands, which are useful in their own rights.
I also strongly disagree with the author that LF is useless.
So many times in code I need to type:
Function blah(parameter1 = default1,
parameter2, ...)
It would be super nice to move down from the beginning of the word "parameter1" down to the next line even when it's empty to start typing at that position.Sure, there is auto format. But not in this comment box.
And what I'm talking about is exactly what LF was meant to do!
I want all my text boxes to support that, and to have a special key on my keyboard to do it.
Eh.
