New issue 15388 by lima...@gmail.com: Requirement for Platform dependent
newline char
http://code.google.com/p/dart/issues/detail?id=15388

I think we might need something like Platform.NewlineChar

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. No. This is new feature requirement.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
\n generate LineFeed only in Ubuntu, but \n generate CarriageReturn +
LineFeed in Windows.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows, Linux

Please provide any additional information below.
This is critical. Because when we have a code writing `\n` to a file. This
code write only LifeFeed. and It is not suitable with Windows.

It probably belongs somewhere in dart:io's Platform class.

String literals can contain both \n and \r characters for writing line feed
(char code 10) and carriage return (char code 13).

I don't think we should have any automatic conversions of \n into \r\n on
Windows. Most Windows applications work fine with just \n these days.

It is possible to make a converter using dart:convert which does this, or
use string interpolation with a variable holding the newline sequence.
