Hi Ben,
haven't heard from in a while.

No this is a reasonable request.

I'll look into it but not sure, Bram will accept such a change. For the
time
being, I think a autocommand such as this should work (untested, but the
idea
should be clear):

fu! DetectNoEOL()
if !&eol
au BufWrite <buffer> :set binary noeol
au BufWritePost <buffer> :set nobinary
endif
endfu

augroup EOL
au!
au BufEnter * :call DetectNoEOL()
augroup


Best,
Christian
