The byLine operator is platform dependent and therefore a bit unreliable #35

I'm parsing a CSV file, and the byLine considers the whole file one long line.
The problem seems to be that the file lines use only CR line ends. (I don't know where that file came from)

The code looks like this:
public static Observable byLine(Observable source) {
return split(source, System.getProperty("line.separator"));
}

Using the system property for line separator isn't a very good idea, I think. It works when the file originates from the same platform, but it is a bit of a bugger to debug, and it can cause a 'works on my system' scenario.

I'd say just use the split and get rid of the byLine? Or add an explicit separator parameter (but then it is identical to split)
