quasi-quotes have carriage returns on Windows

A Windows user rerported using Data.Text.IO.writeFile to write out quasi-quoted text.

writeFile automatically translates '\r' to "\r\n", so the user ended up writing out "\r\r\n" to a file.

Haskell seems to be adopting the policy or removing '\r' from Haskell land. Is there any reason why quasi-quotes should not automatically strip carriage returns?

I asked this question on ghc-users and there was no response.

I am willing to make this fix if it is deemed appropriate.
