How are you going to distinguish the normal use of chomp() from "habitual" use? Under most circumstances, I'm using chomp() to remove the EOL from lines read via the diamond operator. In normal use, it Just Doesn't Matter if the last line has an EOL or not. Using chomp() means I don't have to care, nor do I have to jump through extra hoops to not care.

I don't understand why you are so adamant about this.
