[issue15543] central documentation for 'universal newlines'

[Chris Jerdonek]

Chris Jerdonek added the comment:

Since universal newline mode is discouraged and getting deprecated in the built-in open() function, the "central" place for describing universal newlines should probably not be the documentation for the open() method.  I am leaning towards a glossary entry.

The io.TextIOWrapper class is another candidate:
