I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. I find being able to see \r
line-endings in the pretty-printed format is exceedingly useful for
figuring out if a file has been checked in with the wrong line-endings.
The number of files that must have \r line endings are vanishingly small
(Bat files are perhaps the one example I can think of right now).

Cheers,
Edward
