That's the problem with current approach: it only takes C/C++ sources
into account.

Again: solution is trivial. "Transform what I ask you to (LF->CRLF and
back) and don't mess with anything special (like CR->CRLF etc)."

Maybe this won't work in all scenarios but it's (a) simple to explain
(and expected by all I believe), (b) works for far more percentage of
cases then current implementation.
