Re: error: "no newline at end of file"

Neither the C standard nor the C++ standard imposes any requirements
on concrete source code representation, so it's not quite right to
blame this issue on nonconformant code.
Unless there are other compilers which require a LF character at the
end of a file by default (and following this rule would increase
portability as a result), I don't think it's a good idea to impose
such a backwards incompatibility on users.
