Great!

Is the --binary flag not obvious enough?  Do you have a suggestion?

That sounds like an improvement, would you like to help with that?

I think review should be done here, with patches.  I thought it might be
just a bit too early for that and was hoping others [you] would want to
make some changes first...and maybe pulling my git would be handier
then.

I'm happy to send the patches here, whatever is convenient.
