Eh, you are right. But ... signs that do not talk should be crystal
clear ...

Isn't there someone who have a better suggestion for that
"there-is-no-ending-new-line" symbol?

Personally I would be less surprised by a lower right and a lower left
corner, but still confusing. Here is another idea:

If the last line has an ending newline char then place the fringe symbol
one line down (and let it be the same symbol). What about that?
