As an electronics engineer using Qt, this would definitely make my life easier sometimes. I don't think this is about "protocols using weird line-endings" - it's about the fact there are many sensible choices for low-level protocols to signal frames, not only \n. As an example, I was dealing with a protocol (via QSerialPort) which uses STX (start of text, ASCII 0x02) as delimiter.
