Conceptually, I think that <LF>s (or <CR><LF>s) are displayable characters
which display whitespace, though I understand what you mean. If you don't
store valid bounds information for linefeeds, how would you determine the caret
position for the cases I mentioned in my patch?

Testcases would definitely be helpful. Thanks again for your hard work.
