Maybe you could start to correct it this way:
1. add option --textmode ...
Rather, --text. But yes, we need this option, so that --binary can be
default (like it was meant to be). On systems where text and binary are
identical (per POSIX), you want the default to be ' ', not '*'. And on
systems where they differ, the major use of summing is to confirm binary
compatibility, not text compatibility, so --text should be an explicit
option for O_TEXT and you should default to O_BINARY. We shouldn't need
a --binary, but must keep it for compatibility.
