Too bad it wasn't on the mailinglist ;-) I'd really like to see the
static initializer removed, the lineSeparator is only used in an
uncommon code path, so it's seems like a waste to get it ahead of time.
Either get it lazily or use an inner class with a static initializer.

Static initializers are quite expensive, so we should try to limit them
as much as reasonable.
