There are terminals for which "newline" is neither a 012 or a 015.
Ever used a Superbee?  I'm stuck with a couple of these kludgey
monsters (I could write pages and pages about the problems they
have, and how no two of them seem to use the same cursor control
sequences, etc.), and they have a nice large NEWLINE key which
generates not CR or LF, but US (037).  This means the tty driver
and all programs that use raw mode (like "getty") must contain
special-case code to convert 037 to 012.

One of these days I'm going to get an axe and put them out of
my misery.
