Not all tests should strip trailing cr. Or, put in other words, autotest is also useful for testing binary files (although generating NUL bytes or files without trailing newlines is admittedly harder to do). If we were to introduce something like this, I think it should be a new macro that autotest writers can choose to use on a per-test basis, rather than blindly used in all instances of diff. But I also think the idea has some merit. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
