No, CR-only is not supported, because:
Nobody was implementing it, and that is probably because
the only question abou CR-only (at least what I remember)
was a when an old Mac OS (not the Mac OS X)
was used (which used to use CR instead of LF).

And, such feature may be implemented by writing a filter,
replace CR with LF as "clean" and "LF" with "CR" for smudge.
