Uh, sorry, I don't know how I was reading your message, but I managed to
seriously misread it.

Yes, `set-hard-newline-properties' looks fine as well, especially if it
is documented.  But I think we should add that `hard-newline' constant
too.  Sometimes you need to pass strings to various functions and don't
have a (clean) way to work directly with the buffer.  In such cases the
constant is useful.
