--indent 0 removes newlines

[adeck]

I initially thought it would be easy to get output to look like this guy wants his to look:
#1462

However, using --indent 0 from commandline jq seems to have simply disabled prettyprinting entirely, and in addition to removing indent characters, it removes newlines as well, which is surprising and unintuitive.

To elaborate, a common desired output is one field per line, with no [hierarchical] indentation.
Current (alleged buggy) behavior of --indent 0 seems redundant with --compact-output
--thus we either need it fixed, or to find/make another way to specify the desired output.
