Is there any way to input such a literal? Both `...` and q"EOS...EOS" do not allow escape sequences. I'm on Linux, but I need precisely CRLF, not just \n.

One way you could do it is to stick a .replace("\n", "\r\n") to the end of the literal. If it is in a compile time context, it will CTFE its way to a new literal for you.

I'm probably missing the point, but:

"Hello\r\nworld"

Or if you want to include the \n verbatim:

"Hello\r
world"

Thanks, this works - I don't know how I did it the first time, because I definitely tried that and failed.

The other solution by Adam also works - thanks.

Another option:
 "Hello\r\n"~
 "world";
