The purpose of the snippet was to highlight the effect of `\r`, not to hide it.	[reply] [d/l]

The purpose of my snippet was not to improve yours, let alone correct it. Yours having fulfilled its purpose, I added it as a kind of second step. Actually, I only posted it for the little `sleep( /\d/)` hack. I thought that (and its purpose) made it mildly interesting. Anno	[reply] [d/l]
