I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude. Do you prefer including the entire original message when replying? Or perhaps I misunderstood you when you wrote:

> Carriage returns usually don't matter in LaTeX, so I didn't even know about this option, though I use results=tex quite often. I had to look at the source to see where the newlines were going, and saw it there.

Could you please clarify? Thanks.

I'd rather say they do. One is like a space, two or more end a paragraph
and start a new one. If newlines are stripped away, the meaning of the
TeX code can change, in some cases dramatically (e.g. if comments are
written to the TeX code).

Also, I don't understand why the option is called strip.white, at least
for results=tex. The docs say that "blank lines at the beginning and end
of output are removed", but the observed behavior is to remove the
terminating carriage return of the output.
