I beg to differ -- on Unix, Ctrl-D *is* the customary
way to exit from something that's reading from stdin.
Indeed. Ctrl-D is _the_ canonical way to tell a program that's
reading stdin that your're done.
Not on Windows.
I've never run across "hit <return> to exit".
In any case, you need to be able to handle EOF gracefully if the user
uses it.
