about that main topic,

There also can be no newline at all.

vlclua_stream_readline for those uses should be replaced by proper
stream format/node parsers with callbacks.
We already have json code & xml, that will imply new lua mappings and
rewriting the call code.

A low cost option is not to use Readline at all but read as binary and
tokenize in lua.
