Actually even in that case it doesn't really buy you anything, 
unless EOLs can occur in other contexts as well.  (And even then 
it's doubtful -- it'd just make parsing harder.)


But I think the OP would need to explain a bit more about *why* 
they're interested in line beginnings and endings before we can be 
of more help.
