So, for me, RAW is the right solution, or at least *a* right solution. My first pass of reading the code changes and the regression tests is complete, and I found the changes to be clear and fairly straightforward. This shouldn't surprise anyone, as the previous reviewers had only minor quibbles with the code. So far, so good. The regression tests seem to adequately cover all new functionality, though I wonder if we should add some cases that highlight situations where BINARY mode is insufficient. Before I give my approval, I want to read it again more closely to make sure that no cases were skipped with regard to the (binary || raw) and (binary || !raw) tests. Also, I want to use it on some of my problematic files. Maybe I'll find a good edge case. Probably not. I hope to find time for those things in the next few days.
