Hi Eli,

Thanks a lot for clarifying how this coding business works.
It makes much more sense to me now.

Is the EOL format separate from the other coding information?

If that is the case, then insert-file-contents could simply remember what
the EOL format was before insertion and restore that setting afterwards.
