Andreas,
My point is new line is a non printable character and if I do not remember all
the stuff like echo does prints a new line character, I will be mislead.
Anyway, it is an ideological discussion how to interpret it but I thank you and
the GNU team for prompt response and being at top of the issues.

It does not do that. It just does not ignore any character.
