tell (ASCII character 10) to set l to {return, it, return & it, it & return}

You're awfully fond of that tell..it idiom, aren't you? :)

repeat with i in l
        set text item delimiters to i's contents
        set i's contents to paragraphs of ({"a", "b", "c"} as string)
end repeat
set text item delimiters to {""}

l --> {{"a", "b", "c"}, {"a", "b", "c"}, {"a", "b", "c"}, {"a", "",
"b", "", "c"}}

So in other words, lone CR, lone LF, and CR+LF are each regarded by
"paragraphs of" as a single separator, while LF+CR is regarded as two
separators in a row and therefore yields a blank "paragraph" that is
considered to be between them.  Good to know.

Was pre-X Mac OS similarly newline-agnostic, or did it only regard CR
as a line separator?
