I think it's a result of the fact that when Mule was introduced, unibyte
buffers were often used for normal text in the western world (to avoid
bugs in code that wasn't yet prepared for coding-systems and non-8bit
chars) but where there was a desire to still support the EOL-conversion
feature of Mule (which was much better than the previous hacks to
handle DOS text files).
