just a thought...afaik, all objects require just one line of text..ie, there is never any reason to hit the enter key while making an object (message boxes, yes...but objects, no)
There is no reason for messageboxes and comments either. All three kinds of boxes are saved as lists of atoms, parsed by binbuf_text, which discards all whitespace (that is: spaces, tabs, and newlines).
I'm thinking about whitespace-preservation hints that could work for all three kinds of boxes, but it doesn't fix some other problems like how numbers get mangled due to the parsing/unparsing of floats. This latter problem cannot realistically be fixed by keeping the fileformat compatible (or maybe it can - any ideas?)
