Hi,
sorry for chiming in so late.
I've just played around with patch 3 and 4 of that series.
And I like it very much as I work often with large files so any further
enhancement in that area is really nice.

Why do you check for s->is_binary == -1 here? I think it does not matter
what s_is_binary says here.
