This is a too simple analysis! The compiler is free to remove duplicate
strings. Thus, if "\n" is used it takes only three uses to start being
smaller! ... with a corresponding compiler/linker which removes
duplicate strings. For most applications such stuff is unlikely to
matter. However, I can image that on some embedded systems things are
different...
