You've got the keyverb: overdo
We've already got d2u. There is a point in making bash scripts work
with CRLF endings but at the expense of a slower and a little bit larger
bash, I think. (If I'm wrong here, I'm sorry, I haven't seen bash's code.)
d2u is much simpler. For the sake of simplicity and elegance, let's go d2u.
