This is for developer, not for users ?
When I found new function, I test it and read manual. In whole FPC is many 
similar names of different function and nobody should think about function only 
from its name. Of course better is, when names are full of knowledge (I don't 
know how it say), but it can't be a barrier of development.

My idea: change name (settextlineending too) or make second function 
GetFileLineEnding to return line-endings of file.
