Consistency with JS RegExps needs to be implemented in readline.
The issue involves making `readline` consistent with JavaScript RegExps in handling `\u2028` and `\u2029` as line breaks. The main task is to modify `readline` to recognize these characters, potentially requiring an opt-in mechanism similar to RegExps. The recent commit suggests partial resolution, but clarity on the final implementation is still needed.
Not sure if we should fix, document, or ignore this and if it has been discussed, so to be on the safe side.
Currently, \u2028 and \u2029 are considered as line breaks by JavaScript RegExps, while they are ignored by the readline:
'use strict';
const fs = require('fs');
const readline = require('readline');
const str = '123\n456\r123\u{2028}456\u{2029}789';
console.log(str.split(/^/mu));
fs.writeFileSync('readline-test.txt', str, 'utf8');
const rl = readline.createInterface({
input: fs.createReadStream('readline-test.txt', 'utf8'),
crlfDelay: Infinity,
});
rl.on('line', console.log);
