    Re:   Effect of CR in symbols
    I think <cr> should be a break character identical to space.
    Does the proposed change mean just that, or something else?
It does NOT mean it is identical to space, which I don't think you mean
either.  Consider
|FOO
BAR|
I don't think you mean to claim this should be the same as
|FOO BAR|.
If you mean "It should break symbols when unquoted, just like SPACE",
then yes.
