Yes, it is only supported by LoadFromFile/SaveToFile (and only because 
it was there since probably before we forked).

I would not be in favour of detecting the style when setting text. That 
will lead to a lot of confusion. There may be mixed style, or other 
operations later can have other style. It is also unescesarry work, for 
something rarely ever needed (unless stored for each line, but that is a 
huge feature).

It would *probably* not be hard to add it to "GetText" (property Text) 
(with a property, that the user can set, to the desired line-ending).

But imho that just gets the problem started. Once it works for GetText, 
users will (rightfully) expect it for other methods to: SynEdit.SelText 
/ SynEdit.TextBetweenPoints / CopyToClipboard ....
And that will be a lot more work (still possible).
