why settle for \n when you can go for the stylish carriage return

so John\r Doe ? depending on the software, when it gets printed, the carriage return will move the cursor to the start of the line without moving a line down, becoming \x20Doe.

This is the ideal rendition, I would say. On a related note, I just love it when there are backspaces in my filenames
