Comments:

Nice script! You could also respect the user's line endings choice by using editor.EOLMode:

CRLF = 0
CR = 1
LF = 2

Might be nice to have a editor.LineEndString or something similar to just return the appropriate string to use.

Yeah, that'd be nice. I'd name it EOLString (or actually EolString, depending on style), but that'd be a great convenience.
