I'm a bit wary of setting a precedent for any other implementations of
the ALLEGRO_FILE interface that touch disk (memfile performing newline
translation seems a bit absurd).
I also somewhat like that ALLEGRO_FILE is a thin layer over the
underlying implementation rather than introducing its own behaviour.
Of course, that has its downsides.
So.. not sure.
