Note that, on Unix-like systems, there is no difference between
text I/O and binary I/O on files. It is only Windows that requires
a separation of the modes.
As to fixing the Haskell standard - well, the base hierarchical
libraries are a de facto "corrected" set of libraries. It is just
that not all compilers have yet caught up with them.
