FYI, that definition is incorrect -- it's only going to call the 
newline() function if it encounters UNIX-style line breaks, not 
DOS-style line breaks.

You need to enclose the alt-block in an additional set of 
parentheses, so that the action follows a single term, not an 
alt.  Or put the same action on both alts.

Alternatively, you can probably get away with writing it as a 
single alt, like so:
   '\r'? '\n'
