Support for newline regex

See original GitHub issue

My application needs to support csv files with either \r\n or \n linebreaks. Given that you already use input.split(newline) we could easily split using the standard linebreak regex: newline : /\r?\n/.

However it looks like currently you are overriding it to be \n. What is the reason for this? Would you be willing to support a default linebreak of /\r?\n/ so that both types of line endings are supported?
