Are \newline and \return considered the same? #15

Two specific areas: Single-line comments and Characters.

In Clojure \newline is line feed (ASCII 10) while \return is carriage return (ASCII 13).

True. They are different characters. I'm wondering if the un-mentioned \return is intentional or if it's assumed that wherever \newline is referred to \return is also valid.
