But doesn't it change the semantics?

s[off] == '\f', even if off is at the end of the string, i.e. (off
== len - 1), must trigger the off++ increment.

On the other hand, CR that is the part of CRLF at the end of line is
*not* treated like other funny whitespace control characters.  This
"is off not at the end of line, if so check CR" comparison is about
that.
