For example, .splitlines considers carriage-return (CR) characters as well, and you don't seem to complain about that.

That doesn't bother me so much because \r as a line boundary is a well-established convention on some platforms. But I've never heard of FF or VT being used as line delimiters. If they were, I would regard it as an application-specific convention requiring special coding for that application.
