I copied the statement about using newline= from the reader() doc to the
writer() doc.  All the examples I see (I'm looking at the cpython repo -
that is, what will be 3.3) use the with statement and open files using
newline=''.  I don't think more changes are necessary.  I will consult with
other Python developers about merging these changes to other active
branches.  I simply don't understand the new Mercurial workflow well enough
to do it properly.
