"Quite true, but implementers can play games, since the RM does not
define the source representation.  Just because your editor and
operating system think it's a form-feed, doesn't mean your compiler
does, and vice-versa.
"

Yes, I know these games well, but this particular one is unlikely, since
the ACVC sources insist that form feed act as end of line

(yes, yes, you could translate this to something else and still "mis-
interpret form feed, but that is FAR out in the theoretical realm!)
