That would be too late for the r) option above.
Note that similar situations occur when the buffer's file encoding is
different from the encoding of the inserted text. E.g., imagine a buffer
visiting a Latin-1 file into which you insert an ISO-2022 file. In those
situations, too, asking the question after C-x i already inserted the
text is too late. (I assume that any feature that asks the user should
handle the latter case as well, not be limited to the EOL format alone.)
