How line endings are treated is completely dependent upon the Device you pass to
boost::iostreams::stream. Of the Devices provided by the iostreams library, only
the file wrappers (www.boost.org/libs/iostreams/doc/index.html?path=4.2.2.10)
provide line-ending conversions by default.

In general, if you want to enable line-ending conversions for a user-defined
device, you have to compose it with a newline filter
(www.boost.org/libs/iostreams/doc/index.html?path=4.2.10.1).
